Police say Edgar Maddison Welch was pulled over Saturday night as a passenger in a traffic stop because he had an outstanding warrant.

Edgar Maddison Welch, 36, of Salisbury, N.C., who was sentenced to four years in prison for the 2016 shooting at a Washington restaurant, was fatally shot after he pointed a gun at an officer during a traffic stop,

Welch made headlines in late 2016 after driving to a Washington, DC pizza parlor with an assault rifle to "self-investigate" false claims of a politician-led child sex ring being run out of the business.
