Garland Police Shoot Man with Knives. A shirtless man waving knives, swiping at cars, and banging on storefront windows near Bass Pro Shop was shot and killed by a Garland police officer. Authorities say the suspect ignored calls to drop the weapons and instead walked toward officers. If you want to consider whether these are knives or machetes, there is a video.
