The 20-year-old was parked in a fire lane and then quickly sped away when police officer's knocked on his window, according to the Boston Globe.

Pleasantville police officers claim that they tried to stop the car but Henry continued to accelerate and struck and officer. Other officers fired at the vehicle, which was not stopping, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger suffered a minor gunshot wound.
