Officers were called to a house on Mander Lane after a neighbor reported a disturbance. By the time officers got inside, they found Alan Weber wearing a fencing.
A man wearing a fencing mask charged at police officers with two swords Tuesday. The man ignored orders to drop the weapons and was fatally shot in Long Island, New York.
A police officer has shot and killed a man who charged at authorities with two swords on New York's Long Island, and the police commissioner says the shooting appears to be justified. Fifty-four-year-old Alan Weber was pronounced dead at a hospital after Tuesday night’s shooting in Elwood. Suffolk County police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man acting violently inside a home. Authorities say Weber ignored orders to drop the swords and an officer fired a stun gun at him, but it had no effect. Police say Weber then charged at the officers and one of them fired several shots. State and local authorities are investigating.
