Officers arrived at Parker's house after being called because Parker had a knife and was threatening to hurt himself. After they arrived, he went into the home and came back out with a machete, charging at the officers, police said. Officers used non-lethal means on Parker, shooting him with a bean bag and using a Taser on him, but neither stopped him, and he was shot and killed.
