Police shot and killed a man who allegedly approached them with a knife in one hand and a wooden stick in the other when Police responded to a Bronx apartment building for a report of harassment. They encountered Kawaski "Chaos" Trawick in a fourth-floor apartment when they arrived. One officer reportedly tried to stun him, but it didn't work, and he started walking toward them again. At that point, around 10:45 p.m., the officer shot and killed Trawick.
