Officers and robbery detectives entered the courtyard of the home to surround the man and spotted him running onto the roof a detached garage. As the man ran across the garage, away from officers and out of view, a detective scaled a wall adjacent to the garage to get to higher ground and get a better view. As soon as the detective ascended the wall, he saw the man standing nearby, holding a large knife, police said.

According to police, a detective began talking to the man and repeatedly ordered him to drop the knife, but he refused, and a lieutenant at the scene called for officers with stun guns to come to the courtyard.

Investigators said that before the officers with stun guns arrived, the man, with knife in hand, ran toward the detective. When he was within 15 feet of the detective, the detective fired multiple rounds from a rifle, striking the man. Officers called for medics and began performing CPR on the man, but he died at the scene.

“Although officers armed with less-lethal tools were responding to the incident at the time of the shooting, police are trained to use deadly force when facing a threat from a deadly weapon, like a gun or knife,” a Seattle Police Department news release said.
