這個案子的重點在於警察說接報出警， 很可能是他的家人受到這個男子的威脅而報警的。既然家人都覺察到危險危險，這男子持刀不停警察命令停下持續衝線警察，警察也會覺得在極度危險的狀態下開槍。報道說是在男子衝到距離警察10feet時。這個應該是在他們的警察開槍手冊里規定的情況之一。

The shooting occurred before 4 p.m. as officers responded to a report of a person with a weapon, police spokesperson Tanya Little said.

Officers were called to the Cobbs Creek neighborhood and encountered the man, later identified as Walter Wallace, who was holding a knife, she said.

Officers ordered Wallace to drop the knife, but he instead “advanced toward” them. Both officers then fired “several times,” Little said.
