Officers administered first aid to the victim, but she was pronounced dead. The officers found the man in the creek, still armed with a knife, and ordered him to drop the weapon. The suspect did not comply and attempted to harm himself with the knife. Officers used multiple bean bag rounds, and when the man turned toward the officer while holding the knife, they shot and killed him.
