BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. (AP) — Bainbridge Island police shot and killed a man officers say attacked them with an ax.

KIRO-TV reports two officers responded to an unintelligible 911 call Tuesday night and found a man in his 20s who would not answer questions.

Kitsap County sheriff’s spokesman Scott Wilson says the man was aggressive and charged at the officers. They shocked him with a Taser.

He retreated, but Wilson says he came back at the officers with an ax, and the officers fired.

The man went back into an apartment where a SWAT team entered about 10 p.m. to find him dead.
