Knife Wielding Man Shot And Killed At Frisco Commons Park
 
Around 9:50 a.m. Thursday, Frisco officers responded to a welfare call near the 8000 block of McKinney Rd. A man, later identified as 31-year-old Logan Holliday of Frisco, was reported armed with a knife and already injured himself.
 
Officers found Holliday in a wooded area near Frisco Commons Park. Despite repeated commands and the use of a less-lethal option, he advanced on officers with the knife in hand. Fearing for their safety, officers fired.
 
Life-saving measures were attempted on scene before Holliday was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
 
The Texas Rangers are leading the follow up investigation. No further details are available at this time.

@Jjj: Wouldn't it be good if they could just shoot the knife out of his hand or drop him to his knees with a shot in the leg instead of killing him?! That is the sad part of this story!!

There is something wrong with the system. Why shoot to kill especially that he didn't have a gun, just a knife....

@Tamara : @Alonausa :
 
I don't know...sure, there may have been a better way to handle this, but if someone is nearby and charging at me with a knife, I'd probably also shoot to kill. Too big a risk that you'd miss or the shot wouldn't incapacitate the person.
 
I wonder if they'll be releasing the bodycam videos for this one.
