Teens Arrested After Stolen Car Flees, Crashes Into House
Early Thursday morning, Tampa Police officers investi- gating a possible domestic dis- turbance at a South Tampa home fatally shot a man after he reportedly fired at officers.
At 1:10 a.m., police received a call about a domestic distur- bance at 3312 Cherokee Av- enue. Officers arrived minutes later and spoke with the man, later identified as Sunny Chin, 53, who they said was uncooperative and armed with a firearm that he pointed at them.
More officers were called out to the home, and for 45 min- utes, police used a public ad- dress system to talk to Chin.
Officers said Chin made comments that they would have to come and get him. He then came out of the house onto the carport with a gun tucked into a towel around his waist.
Officers approached Chin with a shield, telling him to keep his hands visible and not to fire, police said.
At 2:53 a. m., Chin report- edly reached for the gun and fired a shot at the officers that hit near the center of the shield, police said. Officers returned fire and killed Chin in the car- port area.
A woman who was in the house had scrapes and bruises, but no serious injuries, accord- ing to police, and she is cooper- ating with investigators.
