ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Arlington police shot and killed a man who they say attempted to stab an officer responding to a 911 call.
Two Arlington officers went to a home Thursday after a person called 911 from the residence and then hung up.
As the officers entered the home, the assailant approached from behind a wall and tried to stab one of the officers.
Authorities say both officers began to retreat toward the door and then fired on the man as he came toward them.
