On Wednesday evening, deputies in northwest Harris County fatally shot a man who they say refused to drop a knife in the middle of a street.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 7:16 p.m. reporting a man cutting or stabbing himself in the 3200 block of Palston Bend Lane in the Villas at Northpark neighborhood, just south of FM-1960.
Upon arrival, deputies found the man obstructing traffic and self-inflicting wounds with a knife. Despite verbal commands and attempts to use non-lethal force, the man continued to advance towards the deputies, prompting them to fire their weapons, resulting in his death at the scene.
The man, covered in blood, was also observed holding a 3-by-2-foot wooden cross above his head, smearing blood from his injuries.
Fortunately, no deputies sustained injuries during the incident. An investigation has been initiated to determine the sequence of events.
