Following the pursuit, Osmond reportedly opened fire on officers, three of whom then returned fire, fatally wounding the gunman.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine told reporters that the agency is leading the investigation into Johnson's death but was not handling the earlier shooting that wounded off-duty Officer Darrell Osment.

Osment is now listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
