They arrived, saw a man, allege he was holding a knife and shot and killed an unnamed 36-year-old man. The man was not accused of using a knife or threatening anyone with it prior to police arrival. So far, only the police narrative exists and no eyewitness family or other statements or videos can be located to compare to official police statements. One neighbor reported waking up to “rapid fire gunshots”, presumably from police semiautomatic weapons.
