TBI Agents continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding a fatal officer-involved shooting Wednesday night in Rutherford County.

Deputies from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of 43-year-old Allon Jones possibly holding family members hostage at a home on Breeze Drive. Deputies tried to negotiate with Jones for a time, but the situation escalated when he reportedly exited the home, brandished a firearm and pointed it at law-enforcement officers.

Deputies subsequently fired at Jones, striking him. He was taken to St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. No law-enforcement officers were injured in the incident.
