An officer fatally shot and killed a man in Riverdale Park, authorities said.
When officers arrived they spoke for “several minutes with the man at the front door of the home.” The man went inside the home and to a bedroom upstairs, officials said.
Officers followed the man inside the home and “gave him commands to stop,” but he “did not comply,” the statement said. Once inside the bedroom, the man pointed a handgun at officers and one officer shot the man, officials said. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. His name was not released.
Authorities said a body camera on the officer who shot the man was active at the time. Officials said the Independent Investigations Division will typically release body-camera footage within 14 days of an incident.
