Michael W. Habay

Deadly force

Police responded to a domestic disturbance call about a man with a knife and machete. Officers report that they knocked on Habay's door and when he didn't answer, they forced the door open, believing a woman was inside. They report that they saw him with a knife and machete, and that he did not follow commands to get down and/or drop the knife. When he swung the knives at them as he ran out the door, Officer Vincent Gallerani shot him twice.
