How they died

Deadly force

Officers were responding to a domestic violence complaint. As officers knocked on the apartment door, they heard a woman calling for help. Officers forced their way inside the apartment. Officers then faced a man holding a knife on the woman. Officers told the man to drop the knife. The man continued to come toward the woman with the knife and officers shot and killed the man.
