In preliminary statements about the shooting, Metro police said officers shot at a man outside a business in the area of Tropicana Avenue and Koval Lane after he approached them with a knife.
Officers had been called to the area on a request from the business for help trespassing individuals from the property. Police were told at least one of the individuals had gone behind the counter and yelled at employees, Metro Capt. Kurt McKenzie said previously.
When officers arrived, a man with a knife "sped" at them and charged at another officer "at full speed," McKenzie said.
Officers fired their weapons at the man, who died from his injuries at University Medical Center.
