Police officers fatally shot a 25-year-old man in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood while responding to a domestic dispute call on May 13. The man, reportedly known to carry weapons, lunged at officers with a large knife after they entered the apartment following a 911 call from a woman who feared for her safety. Officers first attempted to subdue him with a Taser, but when the suspect continued to charge, one officer fired twice, striking him in the chest. The man was transported to Brookdale Hospital where he was pronounced dead, and no officers or bystanders were injured during the incident. Authorities are investigating the circumstances, including how the man entered the home, and have asked the public to avoid the area.
