How they died

Deadly force

Boston EMS and Boston police responded to an apartment after a mother called 911 reporting her emotionally disturbed 31-year-old son was out of control. Police said the man was suffering from paranoia and schizophrenia. While trying to help the man, a struggle ensued and the man armed himself with a knife. Officers ran in to assist, and police said the man swung repeatedly at the officers and EMTs as they struggled to get the knife away. After failed attempts to disarm the man, he was shot and killed.
