Boston police fatally shot a man Tuesday that was part of a terrorism investigation.
An official with the U.S. Joint Terrorism Task Force says the slain man was part of a terror investigation involving Islamist extremists who were under surveillance and tracking. The man was shot after coming toward police and federal agents with a military-style knife.
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said the man was specifically under investigation for threats against police officers. Details on those threats were not released to the media.
“Unfortunately, he came at the officers and, you know, they do what they were trained to do and, unfortunately, they had to take a life,” Evans said.
The suspect died at an area hospital.
Two officers who were involved in the incident were examined for stress at the hospital but did not suffer any physical injuries.
The shooting is still under official investigation.
