A person with a couple of steak knives is shot dead? No big deal?

From the report they tried to taser him twice, but I'm sure you know best.
Sorry — I didn’t see the report. Sounds like the officers did take the appropriate de escalation techniques. A very unfortunate situation and it sounds like the individual was mentally unstable. I stand by my post that taser response is usually the appropriate response to a mentaly unstable individual with a knife, rather than shooting first.
I know these situations are traumatic for the LEO as well, so I’m holding space for them in my thoughts, as well as the victim and his family.

An officer-involved shooting occurred on September 16, 2025, in the 5100 block of Sherier Place NW in Washington, D.C., near the Palisades neighborhood. According to investigators, officers gave the man several orders to drop the knives, but he refused. One officer tried to subdue him with a Taser twice, but it was unsuccessful. The man then charged at the officers, who opened fire.
Those aren't the same location. The first one is on "Sheriff Road" in Northeast. That's over by the Arboretum. The second done is "Sherier Place" in Northwest.

Location, location, location.
Right down the street from a really big rec center and playground: tons of baseball and soccer practices all evening. And on a block with multi-million dollar homes.
DV happens everywhere: no less sad in a less affluent neighborhood. But more unusual to have a shooting in a tony part of town.

I’m pretty sure a very high up federal official lives on this street. Don’t want to release the name in case it’s not that person, but this is very curious.
