At Rest

Deadly force
A woman called 911 because her two sons were fighting. The woman sad that her 24-year-old son was acting "aggressively and erratically," police said. By the time police arrived, only the 24-year-old son was still at the home. When police went inside, he allegedly ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and charged at officers when he was shot and killed.
