Van Buren, N.Y. – Two Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office deputies and two state troopers Thursday morning helped rescue a man trapped in a burning home in Van Buren.
The officers were called to the house fire at 4:26 a.m. at 127 Cedarwood Boulevard, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
Deputy Laura Collins saw heavy smoke and flames coming from the rear of the home when she arrived, said Sgt. Jon Seeber, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office. She started to pound on the doors and windows and yelled to alert anyone inside that the house was on fire.
We now know the name of the 17-year-old who was shot and killed by law enforcement following a mental health call in Jamesville on March 4th. The names of the officers involved are also being released.
New York State Police say units were called to assist the St. Joseph Comprehensive Psychiatric Mobile Crisis Outreach Team in handling an incident involving 17-year-old Judson Albahm. When officers arrived on the scene at Apulia Road, Albahm fled on foot with what police have confirmed was a Glock G19 Gen 3 .177 CO2 Action Pistol Handgun, otherwise known as an air pistol.
Officials say as Albahm was running from police, he pointed the air gun in their direction as if he were going to fire towards them. Ultimately the responding officers discharged their weapons, striking and killing Albahm.
