COPS Crew Member Fatally Shot By Police While Filming in Omaha
I'm not a fan of this show, but thought that others might be interested. The article seems to indicate that the suspect was holding an "airsoft" gun, and that only the police fired any shots (more than 30 rounds) :

A suspect was shot dead and a crew member with the “Cops” television show later died after the apparent disruption of a robbery Tuesday night at a Wendy’s restaurant in midtown Omaha, police said Wednesday morning.
More than 30 shots were fired, officials said. The fatal shots apparently were fired by an Omaha police officer. Officials said it appears the only shots fired came from police.
Officials said the robbery suspect apparently had an Airsoft gun, a type of gun that often looks like an actual firearm.
The victim was described as the crew member who holds the microphone. He was taken from the scene in extremely critical condition.
