Officers arriving Friday night at the home in Oceanside found a 36-year-old man in an altercation with his father, reported ABC station WABC."Two of our police officers arrived here, responded inside the residence," Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told WABC."The son was very distraught. He had knives in his hand, he then dropped those knives and picked up a samurai sword.
"The officers instructed him to drop it, they said it several times," Ryder said."He then lunged at the officers and the officers fired shots.""The father is just decimated. It's terrible," neighbor Brian McShane told WABC."Tragedy all around, really, for the family. Good people. And really just a disturbed boy."
McShane said the son had been"acting erratic the past couple of days. He went to attack his sister and then everything went to hell." Ryder said that after the shooting, the officers performed CPR on the son and rushed him to the hospital, but he they couldn't save his life. "The dad was very supportive, understood and actually said the officers did everything they could," Ryder said.
