OZONE PARK, Queens (WABC) -- A man wielding scissors was shot and killed by police in the Ozone Park section of Queens on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers were responding to a home on 103rd Street after a mother called about her 19-year-old son acting erratically.
When officers arrived, they were confronted by the man who was wielding scissors.
NYPD officials say the officers attempted to take the man into custody and get him help, but instead, he pulled a pair of scissors out of a drawer and charged at the officers.
The officers initially fired their tasers at the man, in the living room kitchen of his second-floor home, but as his mother rushed to his aid, officials say "she accidentally knocked the tasers out of his body," rendering them ineffective
The suspect then picked up the scissors and came at the officers again, forcing them to open fire.
"It was chaotic, fast moving and they had to defend themselves," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
The man who was shot was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The officers were not injured but were taken to an area hospital to be treated for ringing of the ears.

A 13-year-old student in Brazil's biggest city fatally stabbed a 71-year-old teacher and wounded three teachers and two fellow students on a Monday in a knife attack at a public school, state officials said.
The five wounded victims from the Thomazia Montoro school in São Paulo were in hospital in stable condition. The suspected attacker was detained and the state's military police are investigating.
“Our efforts are concentrated on helping the wounded and comforting the family members,” Gov. Tarcísio de Freitas wrote on social media.
A student who spoke to reporters alongside his mother outside the school said the attacker had insulted another student last week, and that the female teacher he fatally stabbed had tried to settle the conflict.
The attacker had called the other student a “rat,” and “the other one did not like it, and they began fighting,” said Gabriel Livramento, 13, who is in the same class as the suspect. He added that the attacker did not like the way the teacher had intervened and had said he would do something about it.
The attacker entered class Monday wearing a skull mask and stabbed the teacher from behind, hitting her head and back, Livramento said. The entire class then started running, he said.
