PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police have identified the two officers who shot and killed a 60-year-old man they say advanced toward them with a knife.

Police say Jason Lile and Larry Wingfield, both veterans, fired at the man after he refused to drop the knife and came at them from room inside a closed car wash Sunday. A stun gun was ineffective at subduing him.

The Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s office has not released his identity because it has not been able notify relatives.
