At Rest

Deadly force
Joshua Reed had been threatening people at an apartment complex with a knife, a 911 caller told Guthrie County dispatchers at about 7:20 p.m. Officers encountered Reed barricaded in his friend's apartment threatening police from behind the door. After an initial standoff, Reed burst out his door and armed with a butcher knife charged the officer in the hallway. The officer shot Reed three times, killing him.
