Once on scene, residents told officers the subject was now making homicidal statements. Officers entered the home and heard arguing in a bedroom of the residence. Once the door was opened, one subject was removed from the bedroom, and the decedent brandished a knife toward the officer. The officer gave verbal commands for the decedent to drop the knife, but he failed to comply. As the officer attempted to back out of the room and holster his firearm, the decedent charged at the officer with the knife. The officer raised his firearm and discharged two rounds at close range toward the decedent. The decedent fell to the ground, and the officer stepped inside, securing the knife. Additional officers, as well as a self-reported EMT who lived in the residence, entered the room and began performing life-saving measures.
