An officer-involved shooting took place Wednesday morning on Fairview Ave. in Old East Dallas when police responded to reports of a man with a knife who was attempting to kick down a door. Despite verbal commands and attempts to use less-than-lethal force, the man advanced towards the officers and was shot. He was given first aid and CPR but later died at the hospital. No officers were injured during the incident, and the man’s identity has not yet been released. The investigation is ongoing.
