Around 11:30 a.m., a 9-1-1 call reported a man yelling, agitated and perhaps on drugs in the area. Another call came in saying a second person was fighting with the first. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the man set down his backpack and pulled a knife. Officers reportedly began to back away and continued to try to calm the man. The man allegedly reached back into the backpack and pulled out a handgun. He raised the gun toward the officers, and they shot and killed him with some less-lethal rounds and some less-less lethal rounds.
