The vehicles ended up at a Shell Station where Haught rammed the other car, the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Huber Heights police responded and Haught drove away prompting a chase.
A victim accused Haught of firing shots at his car and ramming into his car.
When stopped in a yard next to a home on Taylorsville Road, Haught was seen on police video getting out of his car and pointing an “AR15-style rifle” at officers. At that point, he was shot by a Huber Heights officer.
Police said that the weapon that he had was a DPMS Full Auto SBR Air Rifle.
