BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say an officer shot and killed a man who was struggling with another officer.

Police say the man began struggling with the officer Tuesday afternoon after police arrived on the scene in response to a domestic disturbance report.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the officer fired once after seeing a knife near the unidentified man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police did not identify the officers involved.

Seven people have been fatally shot by city police this year, two more than all of last year.
