The first shooting took place on Sept. 13 at about 4:15 a.m. Officers responded to a call in the 500 block of Point Vista Avenue, near Galleria Drive and Patrick Lane,

When they arrived, a woman was screaming inside the residence.

Police entered the home and found a man armed with a box cutter in a closet. Police issued commands for the man to drop the box cutter but he did not follow their commands.

Police said he lunged at them and he was then shot by officers. He died of his injuries.

The second incident stems from a violent robbery call at about 5 a.m. on Sept. 22 in the area of Teton Ranch Avenue and Carnegie Street, that turned into a chase ending near Auto Show Drive. 

The suspect initially failed to stop his vehicle and once he did officers said he exited the vehicle with a gun and fled on foot. 

Shots were fired soon after and the suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene.
