 Police: An 'encounter' happened after driver led trooper on chase 
 
 Daniel Harris was driving a Volvo on Interstate 485 in the Charlotte area when a trooper tried to pull him over on suspicion of speeding around 6:15 p.m. Thursday, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said. Harris died at the scene. Officials said Trooper Saunders was placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure after an officer-involved shooting. He was kind of smoking real bad, and then he stopped over here, and then a few minutes later, I heard a gunshot,“ another neighbor, Mark Barringer, said. "I saw a body on the street, and it looked like he was dead." "I saw him out in the neighborhood signing with his family," Ryan Russell said. "It seemed like a very peaceful family."
– A family is left searching for answers after a deaf man was shot and killed by a North Carolina state trooper last week, CNN reports. Daniel Harris, 29, was driving on the interstate near Charlotte when a trooper attempted to pull him over Thursday. Harris didn't stop, and the trooper followed him for seven miles to his neighborhood. There, Harris got out of his car. Something happened between the trooper and Harris that left Harris dead from a gunshot wound, but police aren't giving details of what led to the shooting. They won't say if anything was said between the trooper and Harris, who is also speech-impaired, or if Harris was armed. Sam Harris wants to know if his brother's disabilities led to a fatal misunderstanding with the trooper. "The police need to become aware of how to communicate with deaf people, what that might look like, and how to avoid situations like this from ever happening again," he tells WSOC. Residents of Harris' neighborhood were stunned by what happened. "I saw him out in the neighborhood signing with his family," one neighbor tells WBTV. "It seemed like a very peaceful family." The State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the shooting, and the trooper is on administrative leave, which is standard following a shooting.
