COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Commerce City police officers shot a man Thursday evening after he allegedly threatened to kill his family.

According to the Commerce City Police Department, officers were dispatched to a home in the 7000 block of Garden Lane just after 8 p.m. after a man called 911 and allegedly said he was armed with a knife and planned to kill his family.

Commerce City PD said officers tried to de-escalate the man but “he was uncooperative.” The department said the man refused to comply with officers’ commands to drop the knife, and officers fired their weapons.
