Officials say police were trying to deescalate the situation, when the man charged at them with a knife. One police officer fired his service weapon and shot the man, authorities said. Washington's family says he was suffering from a mental health crisis and called for help, but his family did not expect a SWAT team to confront their loved one, who was reportedly in an 'agitated state.'

This time, the family says they called a crisis center on Saturday afternoon that had treated him as recently as a few days prior for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. They were worried he was released too soon."They were talking to him. He was yelling at them. Because we were like, let us go in, let us talk to him, let us try to go inside. Because then they see SWAT people coming. And we were like, 'why are you calling SWAT?' And they go in and then we heard two shots.
