Investigation under way after police killed bus passenger armed with knife

A man armed with a knife was shot and killed by police officers at the Federal Way Transit Center Sunday night. According to the Federal Way Police Department (FWPD), officers were called to the transit center just before 9 p.m. after a man refused to get off a bus. Callers reported to 911 dispatchers that the man, who is believed to be about 50 years old, appeared to be under the influence and possibly suffering from a mental health crisis. A spokesperson for the FWPD said a crisis negotiator responded to the scene “to assist with de-escalation and communication.” While attempting to communicate and negotiate with the man, police said he tried to start the bus in an attempt to drive away but was unsuccessful.
