Original Article Nov 20, 5:35 PM EST Phoenix officers shoot knife-wielding man PHOENIX (AP) -- Phoenix police shot and killed a knife-wielding man Saturday afternoon after they said he attacked a man, deflected arriving officers' Taser darts and brandished a knife. The incident near Southern and Central avenues unfolded at about 2:45 p.m., when a man flagged down officers and said a man with a knife had attacked him and sliced his ear, Sgt. Andy Hill said. Two officers approached the man, who began swinging the knife and threatening them, Hill said. They shot him with their Taser stun guns, but the unidentified man used his knife to disarm the device's darts. Hill said the man began to cross the street, but then turned and brandished the knife again at the officers, who both fired three shots. The man collapsed and died on the scene. The two officers, James Ward and Chad Williamson, are on routine paid administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
