How they died

Deadly force

Hyattsville police received a call at 7:14 a.m. about an armed man at a coffee shop. Hyattsville officers responded four minutes later. Officers from the Prince George's, Hyattsville and Mount Rainier police departments first surrounded the man on the street and later fired at the man after he allegedly charged at an officer with two knives. Police had reportedly used flashbang grenades to deescalate the situation.
