Garland police shoot and kill man armed with two large knives
The Garland Police Department is investigating an officer involved shooting that took place last night (Friday) at an apartment complex in the 200 block of E. I30.
Officers initially responded to the scene for a report of a “male subject armed with two machetes, slashing tires, and stabbing the hoods of cars parked in the parking lot.”
When officers arrived on the scene, they observed the male armed with two large knives. They gave verbal commands to drop the weapons, but they were ignored. The male advanced towards the police officers with both knives in hand, and was subsequently shot.
The male was transported to a hospital, but pronounced deceased.
The investigation is still ongoing at this time.
