What we know: The police shooting of Aaron Bailey
He's had 11 felony charges since 1996. No gun charges are mentioned in the articles.
According to police after a brief chase and minor crash the officers approached Bailey, at that point he reached down toward his car's center console.. This was enough to convince both officers their lives were in danger and both fired their weapons.

The fatal shooting early Thursday morning of 45-year-old Aaron Bailey, an unarmed black man, is moving Indianapolis into the national discussion about police powers, race and the use of deadly force.
A north-side traffic stop shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday led to a brief chase, a minor crash, a driver who reached down in his car and two officers who fatally shot him.
Officers stopped Bailey's vehicle about 1:45 a.m. near Burdsal Parkway and East Riverside Drive. Authorities have not indicated why the officers pulled him over, but according to online court records, a warrant had been issued for his arrest earlier that day because he had violated the terms of his release on a pending Feb. 2 theft charge.

This is something that every city, every chief of police, every community, every mayor, hopes that never happens.
