North Carolina deputy placed on leave after fatally shooting man in street

A North Carolina deputy has been placed on administrative leave after a fatal shooting that sparked a local protest, authorities said.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Monday that Deputy Jeffrey Hash has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Hash has been with the sheriff's office since 2005 and is a lieutenant in the civil section.

The Fayetteville Police Department said a preliminary investigation determined Jason Walker, 37, "ran into traffic and jumped on a moving vehicle" Saturday. The off-duty deputy shot Walker and then called 911, police said. Walker was pronounced dead at the scene.
