UPDATE: Bodycam Footage Released in Fatal RPD Shooting

UPDATE: The City of Rochester has released police body camera videos of the police shooting of a man carrying a knife.

The unnamed man was shot and killed early yesterday morning on West Main Street.

The video shows him ignoring repeated orders to drop the knife -- and advancing on officers for several minutes -- as officers, with their guns drawn, backed away.

The redacted video blurs the man's face but includes video of efforts to save his life.

An officer reports three rounds hit the man in the chest and one hit him in the stomach.

An officer has shot and killed a man near the Open Door Mission this morning.

Police say the man entered just before 3 and grabbed a large knife from inside.

The man apparently injured himself and threatened responding officers.

He then charged, forcing one officer to fire a single round.

RPD Captain Mark Mura says the officer who fired the shot is shaken up.

There's no ID yet on the man killed at the scene.
