Deadly force

Police were tracking a man who had been reported acting erratically and had been in an altercation with an investigating officer, injuring him slightly. A police dog helped officers locate the man in a shed in the backyard of a home. Officers opened the door of the shed, and McIlrath came out with a knife in his hand. Officers ordered McIlrath to the ground, but he continued to move toward them and one officer shot him in the head, killing him.
