BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) Two Massachusetts police officers were justified when they shot and killed a knife-wielding man during a domestic violence investigation, prosecutors said.
Bryan Cruz-Soto, 28, was killed Dec. 28 by Brockton officers responding to a 911 call reporting that he had attacked a woman, the office of Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz said in a statement Thursday.
Cruz-Soto attempted to stab one officer and refused orders to drop the knife before he was shot, and the officers “reasonably believed that they were in imminent danger of being injured or killed,” the statement said.
