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.

Press Release
Charlotte, N.C. – (Tuesday, April 30, 2024) – Today, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department provided an update on Monday's tragic attack on law enforcement officers in the North Tryon Division. CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings released the names and conditions of the four CMPD officers wounded in the incident. U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis released the identity of the fourth officer killed in the line of duty.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks died in the hospital from his gunshot wound injuries. He was a 13-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Office. CMPD Officer Christopher Tolley, hired in May of 2006, underwent surgery to treat his gunshot wound injuries and remains in the hospital in stable condition. CMPD Officer Michael Giglio, hired in February of 2021, was treated for gunshot wound injuries and released from the hospital Monday. CMPD Officer Jack Blowers, hired in February of 2023, was also treated for his gunshot wound injuries and was released from the hospital Monday. CMPD Officer Justin Campbell, hired in June of 2020, sustained injuries resulting in a broken foot. Officer Campbell was treated and released from the hospital Tuesday morning.
CMPD was joined at a press conference this morning by the U.S. Marshals Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Western District, Governor Roy Cooper, Attorney General Josh Stein, Mayor Vi Lyles and the City of Charlotte.
CMPD's Crime Scene Investigation Unit and detectives worked through the night processing the crime scene in the 5000 block of Galway Drive in the North Tryon Division. During the investigation, a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, 40-caliber handgun and additional magazines and ammo for both weapons were recovered on scene.
Two females inside the residence were brought in on Monday, April 29, to be interviewed by detectives. They are fully cooperating with the investigation. Detectives are not looking for any additional suspects or persons of interest.
Preliminary information indicates that 12 CMPD officers fired their service weapon. All 12 of those officers are on paid, administrative leave. As is standard procedure with any officer involved shooting, the CMPD's Internal Affairs Bureau will conduct a separate but parallel investigation.
The officers involved in yesterday's shooting incident are a part of the Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force (CRFTF), which began operations in January of 2018. The task force is the newest Regional Fugitive Task Force of the U.S. Marshals Office and is compromised of the following agencies: Atrium Health, Catawba County Sheriff's Office, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Department of Homeland Security – HIS, the Department of Justice ATF, Gaston County Police Department, Gastonia Police Department, Huntersville Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, Monroe Police Department, Mooresville Police Department, North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, Statesville Police Department, Union County Sheriff's Office and the York County Sheriff's Office.
The investigation into this incident is being conducted by the CMPD's Homicide Unit. This is an active and ongoing investigation.
As additional information develops, it will be released by the CMPD's Public Affairs Office. For additional information in reference to this case, please refer to the report: 20240429-1333-00.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Investigators on Wednesday continued working to piece together the timeline of a deadly shooting in east Charlotte that killed four officers and left four others with gunshot wounds, rocking the law enforcement community nationwide and spurring an outpouring of support for the officers and their families.
Civic and religious leaders are asking the community for patience, love and grace as they grapple with the fallout of the deaths: Four families who have lost a husband and a father.
Officials have declined to discuss the specifics of the incident, including whether it was appropriate for law enforcement to engage in a lengthy gun battle in the middle of a neighborhood in the middle of the day.
"We do, like a number of cities across this country, have issues around violence. But I think most of the time we can identify why and how," Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said Tuesday night following a community prayer vigil. "In this situation, I think once they finish the investigation, we will probably know more about the how and the why. And my goal is that we complete the investigation, we actually learn from what is going on and that we move forward together."

Tukwila, Washington, United States
Seattle police released new bodycam video Friday evening that shows the moments leading up to officers fatally shooting a suspected child predator at a Tukwila hotel earlier this week.
Seattle Police Department (SPD) Chief Adrian Diaz said the 67-year-old child predator suspect arrived at the DoubleTree Suites hotel around 3:13 p.m. on Wednesday under the impression that he was meeting two young girls, ages 7 and 11.
However, unbeknownst to the suspect, multiple SPD officers with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce were undercover and waiting to arrest the man.
The newly released video shows the officers opening the door for the man, who immediately flashed a gun. A scuffle then occurred before police ultimately fatally shot the man. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.
Officials at the scene said a Seattle officer was grazed by a bullet on their leg during the shootout with the man.

U.S. Park Police (USPP) have released body camera video that shows an officer shooting 17-year-old Dalaneo Martin inside an SUV the teen allegedly stole in Washington, D.C.
D.C. police officers found Dalaneo Martin asleep inside an SUV with the ignition running after they responded to a report of a suspicious car near 34th and Baker streets NE about 8:50 a.m. on Saturday, March 18, authorities said. They determined the car was stolen, called for backup and two USPP officers responded.
In a part of the bodycam video released Tuesday, the officers can be seen discussing how they're going to get the driver out of the car while it's running. A senior D.C. police officer can be heard directing the others: “If he takes off just let him go, but don't get inside that car."
However, the video later shows how an officer moves to arrest Martin, climbing into the backseat and saying, "Police, don't move." That officer and others appear to struggle with the teen as he's in the driver seat, and Martin yells. Authorities are unsuccessful, and Martin drives away with the officer still in his backseat.
“Stop man, just let me out,” the officer says while reaching for their gun. “Stop. Stop or I'll shoot!”
The officer fires multiple times, and the teenager yells again. The SUV then ran into a home in the 300 block of 36th Street NE. Martin died at the scene.
Police said they later discovered a gun in the SUV, but that the officers did not know it was there until after the vehicle crashed.
Kenneth Spencer, chairman of the U.S. Park Police union, said the officers' actions were justified.
“The officer had lawful reason to enter the vehicle, and both officers involved took appropriate actions for lawful reasons,” Spencer said.
Martin's family saw the video of the shooting hours before police released it to the public.
"He murdered my son and should be prosecuted," Martin's mother, Terra Martin, said after watching the video, according to the family's lawyer.
Martin's family is expected to speak to the press on Wednesday. Also known as Debo, he was a father to a 5-month-old son. The family said he cared deeply about others, and they believe that while he may have made mistakes, he did not deserve to die for being behind the wheel of a stolen car.
Now, they are seeking answers from law enforcement.
Terra Martin led a demonstration down Benning Road accompanied by family members and friends about a week after the shooting. She said her family is left with lingering questions eight days after her son was shot and killed: “Why wasn't a taser deployed? Why was the officer in the back of his car? Why was Dalaneo shot in a non-threatening position? Why haven't involved officers' names been released?”
The family's attorney, Andrew O. Clarke, said the family was told by the coroner that Dalaneo was shot multiple times.
“Six shots to the back,” Clarke said. “How can you explain that?”
The two U.S. Park Police officers involved remain on administrative leave.

Abel Lopez-Lopez, 37, RENO, Nevada
According to the investigative report and body cam images, he'd raised a black bag containing a pistol while facing officers. He was hit four times, including once in the head by a shotgun blast.
“In summation, the shooting officers in this case reasonably believed Lopez-Lopez posed an imminent danger that he would kill or cause great bodily injury to” the officers and his wife, the investigative report says.
“The Officers actually and reasonably feared for their own lives and the lives of others, as they had reports that (his wife) was being held hostage and that when they opened the door, Lopez-Lopez was, in fact, armed with a firearm and he drew it…”
Lopez-Lopez's wife later told police she had suspected something sexual might be happening with her 7-year-old — one of five children — for several months.
The girl also told a teacher, who immediately reported the abuse to police.
The Sparks Police Department initiated an investigation and began trying to find Lopez-Lopez.
Later that evening, their 16-year-old daughter called 911 to report text messages from her mother that Lopez-Lopez was threatening to kill her.
The string of text messages over two minutes starting at 7:31 that night said: “At 711 now … Abel is with me … And I think he's trying to kill me … Tell the police … I'm at 711 by the apt … Hurry … Call cops please.”

Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
The Knoxville Police Department body-camera footage from the April 27 police shooting of 25-year-old Jamauri Griffin shows the man firing a gun point-blank into the face of a woman inside her home.
Just before 7:50 a.m. April 27, officers Hunter Powers and Cayden Riddle arrived at the home on Santala Drive for a domestic disturbance call. A caller said a man had shown up at the house and was armed with a gun, a department spokesperson said.
Powers and Riddle entered the house, announcing they were police officers. Almost simultaneously, they see Griffin in front of them, holding a gun and standing close to the woman. As soon as they announced themselves, Griffin lifted his arm and fired point-blank at the woman's face.
The two officers fired multiple times in response, striking Griffin at least one time. The entire sequence from the time officers entered the home until Griffin was shot lasted less than 5 seconds.
The officers cleared away the man's gun and calmed the injured woman. Griffin was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman was hospitalized at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for a gunshot wound to her face. Her injuries, police said, were not life-threatening.

Huntsville, Alabama, United States
March 28, 2023
Residents of the Governor's House apartment complex where two Huntsville Police Officers were shot on Mar. 28 are speaking out following the tragic incident.
“I'm about to die. I really thought that I was going to get shot,” Lillie Cooper said.
Cooper lived on the bottom floor of the apartment building where HPD Officers Garret Crumby and Albert Morin were shot. Eight days following the shooting, Cooper started to pack her things to move from the apartment as she described the scene as a warzone.
“I ran to the door and looked out my peephole and I saw them getting the officer out,” she said. “Then they went right in front of my patio door. Had all of their paramedic stuff on my patio furniture. And they were administering first aid. And that's whenever I was like ‘Okay this is something really serious.' I saw all the cops had their guns pointed at the balcony above mine.”
“I feel like it was probably the closest to death I've ever been to. It still doesn't seem real I still have people calling me, texting me. Anybody that comes over, they -- I mean, you initially walk up and you can obviously see where it happened, what happened,” she continued.
Revyn Bates was also home during that scary ordeal and she recalls seeing multiple cops running down the stairs and fearing the worst had happened. She also says she has spent the past week mentally processing everything that happened.
“It's much different hearing other people talk about it from the outside. Seeing it on the news, or hearing about it through somebody else and being very close to the situation. So it's been pretty difficult because everybody wants to talk about it,” she said. “They want to ask me questions, they want to see how I'm doing, they're calling me. It's a lot. And I can't imagine what the actual victims are going through.”
She also gave her prayers to Huntsville Police officers Albert Morin and Garrett Crumby and their families.
“It's crazy how people will talk about it as if lives weren't lost or as if lives should have been lost,” Revyn continued. “They talk about it as if it's a game or it's not real life because they weren't there.”
Bates and Cooper had to be evacuated from their apartments at the time of the shooting.
“They let me get my dog. They weren't aggressive,” Lillie continued. “I evacuated and I sat in the office until the FBI had to come and talk to us.”
Revyn says she was put in a police car.
“I can say they threw me in the cop car and then left me there. And I did feel very unsafe there and I was very emotional, I didn't know what to do really. And then a guy came and said I don't know who the female is, she's got to get the f*** up out of the car. And then he opened up the door and pulled me out of there.”
