OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Police allege that they received calls that a neighbor exhibited bizarre behavior by being seen with a fencing mask and sword in or around his home. They called NYPD who arrived, saw Weber with a fencing mask and 2 swords and fired a taser at him, then shot and killed the man. Police allege that he was screaming inside but the details of the circumstances under which he was killed were not passed on by police. Yelling in his own home and wearing a complete fencing outfit is not an illegal act but police did not disclose why they shot and killed him when they entered his home and saw him in his fencing gear.

Alan Weber was known to be a skilled elite fencer and it is not known whether an incident occurred or he was in his common fencing gear and misunderstood by a neighbor and shot upon sight by police as the narrative suggests. Weber was an owner and head coach at Elevate Fencing Club and was a five-time US national team member and Olympic alternate, according to the Rockland Fencers Club Facebook page. He won a medal for the United States at the Pan American Games in 1995.
