Illinois man wielding kitchen knives charges at police officers

A man in Illinois was shot by police on Feb. 5 after he charged at police officers while carrying two large kitchen knives.

Aurora, Illinois police officers were responding to a call on Feb. 5 regarding a “family altercation” with “young people fighting” and “older people trying to stop them” when the shooting happened. The Aurora Police Department released body camera video of the incident.

The man was identified as Kristopher I. Cross, 21, and is being charged with two counts of attempted murder, unlawful restraint, aggravated assault of a peace officer, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Daily Herald.

A woman calling the 911 operator can be heard saying “he has a knife,” saying that her grandson and his girlfriend are fighting over a baby.

“I want you to put the knifes down,” a police officer can be heard telling the man.

“I guarantee I will stab one of y’all a–s by the end of the day, so if you come near me I will stab you,” the man told police officers while holding both knifes.
