Indianapolis police officers shot and killed a man on Saturday after he lunged at an officer with a knife following an unsuccessful effort to subdue him using nonlethal force, the department said in a statement.

The killing of the man, whose identity had not been released, was met with anger by some residents in the neighborhood, who briefly confronted police officers and smashed the windshield of a police car, The Indianapolis Star reported.

The statement from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said officers responding to a report of a suicidal person shortly before 11:30 a.m. Saturday found a knife-wielding man who ignored orders to drop his weapon.

They used a Taser but it “appeared to have no effect on him,” according to the statement. An officer then tackled the man but was unable to wrestle the knife from his hands. At that point, two officers fired at the man. Emergency medical workers pronounced him dead at the scene.
