Bodycam released after Rockford officers fatally shoot man armed with knife at his front door
Rockford police fatally shot a man, who was armed with a knife, at his apartment early Sunday morning, Winnebago County State's Attorney J. Hanley's office said.
A resident in the 1300 block of Charles Street called 911 just after 12:10 a.m. to report her neighbor saying things like "help me" and "kill me" repeatedly, Hanley's office said.
Two Rockford police officers responded to the building, and called the landlord to get access to the common area stairwell, Hanley's office said. Officers then encountered Patrick R. Kirby at the door of his apartment.
Kirby had a knife and a box cutter in his hands, Hanley's office said. The officers told Kirby to drop the knife, but he advanced toward the officers and refused to drop the items. That's when one of the officers fired three rounds at Kirby, killing him.
