Hernandez answered the door with what appeared to be a gun when police arrived at his home in response to a 911 call, according to authorities. Hernandez followed the officers out of the apartment building, continuing to point his gun and ignoring commands to drop it before he was shot, police said. Police later said that the gun was a replica and not an actual firearm.
