Officials say police were trying to deescalate the situation, when the man charged at them with a knife. One police officer fired his service weapon and shot the man, authorities said. The man's family identified him as Andrew Jerome Washington, 52. Washington was transported to the hospital for surgery, but was later pronounced dead. Washington's family says he was suffering from a mental health crisis and called for help, but his family did not expect a SWAT team to confront their loved one, who was reportedly in an 'agitated state.'
