Police fatally shoot armed man in Centreville
By Justin Jouvenal
The Fairfax County police fatally shot an armed man in Centreville overnight after he refused orders to drop his weapon and began approaching officers, authorities said.
Officers were called to a townhouse in the 6100 block of Kendra Way around 1:30 a.m. for a report of a disturbance, said Mary Ann Jennings, a Fairfax County police spokeswoman. As officers arrived, they saw the man through the open door of a ground level garage, Jennings said.
The officers got out of their police cruiser and ordered the man to drop his weapon multiple times, but the man did not comply and began walking toward them, Jennings said. At that point, one or more of the officers opened fire on the man, Jennings said.

I love how details like "refused orders to drop his weapon and began approaching" are taken as fact... So much much for..... allegedly, reported to have, is said to have! Seams like a lot if assumptions in this 'report'. I do hope it does not turn out an innocent citizen was executed.
