Florida Police shot a man who was on the run after his girlfriend's daughter was reported pregnant and sexually assaulted.

Gregory Johns, 42, was shot dead in a motel in Treasure Island, Fla. A week prior, his girlfriend brought her 11-year-old daughter to the hospital after complaining of stomach pains when doctors discovered the child was pregnant.

Soon after, Johns, ditched the girlfriend and her daughter at the hospital never returning.

While on the run, Johns committed crimes around the city including robbing someone at knifepoint, before police discovered him in the bathroom of the Trail's End Motel from an anonymous tip.

Reportedly, Johns called his girlfriend and apologized for assaulting her daughter. During the conversation, he also told her the cops would have to kill him before he'd go back to jail for the eleventh time.

According to police, Johns was brandishing a knife threatening to kill them when discovered at the motel which lead to the police shooting him.

Currently the police involved are being investigated and are on paid administrative leave.
