Two Seattle police officers shot and killed a man armed with a knife in a Lower Queen Anne apartment on Wednesday night. Police released body camera footage of the incident last night, showing the officers standing in an apartment hallway as they fire a barrage of bullets at a man standing on the other side of a doorway.

Officers arrived at the apartment at 7:21 pm Wednesday after the man’s girlfriend called 911 frantically asking for help, telling the dispatcher that her boyfriend was “threatening to kill himself and me.” Three minutes later, the two officers opened fire and killed the man, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).

SPD has not released the names of the officers and have not yet returned The Stranger's request for more information, including whether or not either officer was armed with tasers or if they first attempted to use less lethal force. In the video, it appears that neither of the officers involved tried to use a less lethal option during the brief exchange that led to the man’s death. The department has released a photo of a knife they say was found at the scene.

SPD has already launched its own internal investigation into the killing and the King County Sheriff’s Office has launched a separate independent investigation; state law now requires independent investigations of all police involved killings after voters adopted Initiative 940 last year. But what exactly qualifies as an independent investigation and how those investigations should be conducted is still being determined by the state’s Criminal Justice Training Commission. For now, the county sheriff is handling those independent investigations for SPD. This is the second time SPD officers have shot and killed someone this year; in that February incident, cops shot and killed a man in a Northgate apartment.

SPD released three different body camera angles of Wednesday’s shooting as well as an eight-minute 911 call where the woman pleads for help in trying to get the man out of her apartment. During the call, the women identifies her boyfriend as black and Mexican, says he is suicidal, and says she had been trying to get him to leave the apartment for hours after she packed up all of his things.

“Please get him out, I’ve been trying to get him to leave and he won’t leave. He keeps telling me he is going to kill me with his knife out. He tackled me when I tried to call you earlier,” the woman says in the call.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as Ryan Matthew Smith, 31, according to the Seattle Times.
