Hieu Trung Tran aka Hieu Than

Deadly force

Officers were dispatched to a home about 5 p.m. for a welfare check after someone called 911 and hung up. When the two officers arrived, a man partially opened the door, and one officer asked if he could come inside. The man opened the door and the officer took a step or two inside, at which point a second man, identified as 38-year-old Hieu Tran, charged at him with a knife. The officers backed away, but Tran continued to charge at the officers, who shot and killed him.
