Police: Man with knife killed by officers in confrontation

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A man who authorities say charged at two Louisville Metro police officers while holding a knife has been shot and killed.

Multiple media outlets report that authorities say the unidentified man was shot and killed by police outside of a Louisville gas station on Wednesday night.

Police Chief Steve Conrad says the man said something to two officers outside the store before officers noticed the man was holding a knife and drew their weapons. Police say the man allegedly charged at the officers, both of whom shot at the man hitting him multiple times.

Conrad says the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Conrad says there is at least one video of the incident from the Real Time Crime Center, which will be released.

The shooting remains under investigation.
