Philadelphia police have released new information after officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man they witnessed fatally stabbing his aunt earlier this week.
The incident happened Tuesday, at 3:45 p.m. on the 2000 block of South Beechwood Street in Feltonville.
Officers responded to a radio call for a person with a weapon, and met with a witness who told that that her son, 36-year-old Thomas Maisano, was inside a home and armed with a knife. Police say the four responding officers entered the home and saw Maisano on the second floor in possession of a knife. The officers attempted to talk to him, but were unable to convince him to drop the weapon.
That’s when investigators say Maisano entered a front bedroom and a commotion could be heard. One of the officers then instructed two others to position themselves in the stairway and hallway, armed with their Tasers. Meanwhile, Officer Alexander McChord was told to enter the middle bedroom in an attempt to get into the front bedroom through an adjoining door.
