ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (WJLA) - Howard County police shot and killed a man Saturday morning whom they say was threatening police and at least one family member with knives.
The officer-involved shooting is the second in the past week in which police say they believe the citizen was suicidal.
Howard County police said in a statement that calls that came into 911 earlier that morning claiming that a man was in an Ellicott City home threatening the occupants with a knife was actually made by the suspect himself in an attempt to get police to come to the home, possibly because he was suicidal.
