Philadelphia police shot and killed a man who stabbed his family member to death inside a Point Breeze home on Tuesday, according to officials.
It happened around 4 p.m. on the 2000 block of South Beechwood Street.
Police say four officers arrived to find the 36-year-old male suspect actively stabbing his 72-year-old aunt inside the residence.
Officers then tased the man but police said it had no effect.
"The male was brandishing a hunting knife, a large hunting knife. They ordered the male to drop the knife. (He) disregarded their orders at which point the officers drew their tasers and attempted to tase his at least two times," said Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp.
