The shooting occurred on May 27. Police said a man who claimed he was attacked by another man with a knife flagged down two police officers in the 300 block of Cicero Avenue.

When the police officers got out of their patrol car, the argument escalated. Two men were lying on the ground and one stabbed the other several times.

After telling the man to stop, officers fired their weapons, striking both men. ABC7 froze the video at this point.

The man with the knife died. The man on the ground was injured but survived.
