About 11:20 a.m., officers were responding to a break-in at a vacant home when a man who was hiding in one of the bedrooms, Daniel Buckingham, allegedly lunged at police with two knives and cut one of the officers on the arm. Officers had entered the home and cleared it room-by-room after announcing their presence. The officers came across a locked bedroom door and breached it. Buckingham allegedly attacked one of the officers with a knife once the door was breached, and officers shot and killed him.
