According to authorities, a suspect in a traffic stop last week was killed during an officer-involved shooting, a man who hailed from Red Bay.

Derek Lynn Scott, 33, of Tuscumbia, originally from Red Bay, was shot by Tuscumbia officers when he pulled a gun and pointed at the officers during a traffic stop.
