Officers with the Muskegon Police Department responded to the 1900 block of Howden Street around 4 a.m. Wednesday. There they found a 20-year-old man armed with a knife displaying erratic behavior.
According to a statement from the Muskegon Police Department, the man was not compliant with officers who were attempting to de-escalate the situation.
Still armed, the subject fled to a neighboring residence and attacked a female bystander with the knife.
Officers then opened fire on the suspect, who died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
The female who was attacked sustained multiple injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital. She is expected to survive.
Per department policy, the involved officers have been placed on administrative leave while the Michigan State Police investigate.
