A domestic violence call turned fatal when the suspect lunged at officers with a knife.

On the morning of February 17, SCPD officers responded to reports of an incident at a residence on Udall Road in Bay Shore. When the officers arrived, Mr. Woodson opened the front door holding a knife and a baton and slashed one of the officers with a knife. A second officer then attempted to use his taser on Mr. Woodson and a third officer fired his service weapon, striking Mr. Woodson. Mr. Woodson was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Officers recovered a knife and a baton at the scene.
