State police were called to the Mark II Mobile Home Park for a report of a man wielding a knife, acting erratically and threatening neighbors, police said. Gallo met the two troopers at the entrance of a neighbor's trailer. He threatened to kill the troopers and refused to put down his knife, and retreated into the home. The troopers pursued him, and in a back bedroom, Gallo turned and faced the troopers, then advanced toward them, ignoring commands to put down the knife, and was shot and killed.
