Officers asked Nuu repeatedly to put down a hammer, but Nuu yelled back at the officers to shoot him, according to police. When Nuu refused to put down his weapon, a 3-year-old police dog was sent to take Nuu into custody. Nuu then hit Nitro with the hammer, which cut him on his snout, officials said. As officers went near Nuu to rescue Nitro, Nuu then came at them with the claw hammer, so two police officers shot and killed him.
