Quentin Green

Deadly force

An officer shot Quentin Green as he allegedly held a knife to the throat of a 6-year-old boy. Police responded at around 8 p.m. after Green's estranged girlfriend reported he'd come to her apartment in defiance of a court order and locked himself inside an upstairs room with her son and two other young boys. Officers tried to negotiate with Green, but said he dangled the boy of the window. Police forced their way inside through a window and found Green sitting on the floor, holding a serrated knife to the boy's neck. An officer fired two shots after Green allegedly refused to drop the knife and threatened to harm the child.
