An investigation is underway after a man died following a shooting involving members of the Hickman County Sheriff’s Office Sunday afternoon.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said 32nd Judicial District Attorney General Hans Schwendimann asked the agency to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, which happened around 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 17.

The TBI initially told News 2 the shooting took place in the area of Highway 48 and E. Beaverdam Road, but the agency later updated the address to the 2100 block of Old Beaver Creek Road.

According to the TBI, the preliminary information indicates Hickman County deputies were conducting a traffic stop when, for reasons still under investigation, “a struggle ensued” between the deputies and the man in the front passenger seat, 36-year-old James Heggie.

The TBI said multiple deputies fired their weapons, hitting Heggie, who was pronounced dead at a local hospital. However, no injuries were reported among law enforcement personnel.

“TBI agents are working to independently determine the series of events leading to the shooting, including collecting evidence and conducting interviews. Throughout the process, investigative findings will be shared with the District Attorney General for his further review and consideration,” the agency said in a statement released late Sunday night. “The TBI acts solely as fact-finders in its cases and does not determine whether the actions of an officer were justified in these types of matters. That decision rests with the District Attorney General requesting TBI’s involvement.”
