WILLIAMSPORT State College again has defended the use of deadly force by its police against an autistic man who charged at officers with a knife.
The borough Friday responded to an amended complaint filed in U.S. Middle District Court that stems from the March 20, 2019, fatal shooting of Osaze Osagie.
He was shot after he charged out of his apartment in Marvin Gardens on Old Boalsburg Road at officers with a knife and refused to drop it.
As in previous court documents State College says its officers are trained in crisis intervention to deal with mentally challenged individuals.
