TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Tacoma police say one man has died after police officers fired at him Friday afternoon.
Police spokesman Mark Fulghum tells KOMO-TV that two officers opened fire after a man they had made contact with raised a knife and lunged at them.
The shooting took place outside the Loose Wheel Tavern.
A Loose Wheel employee tells KOMO he saw a man with a knife in the parking lot doing what he described as “stabbing cars” when police were called. The employee says police told the man repeatedly to drop the knife.
