Security officers shoot and kill a man inside the Fred D. Thompson U.S. Courthouse and Federal Building in Nashville, Tennessee, after he is reported to brandish a gun and then a knife. Police say the incident occurs Thursday at or near a security checkpoint within the federal courthouse.

According to multiple outlets, investigators say the man attempts to fire his weapon but is unsuccessful before turning to a knife. Officers respond and fatally shoot him. The reports cite police statements during a news conference, with coverage describing the sequence of events as an attempted attack that escalates from a gun to a knife before security uses lethal force.

While outlets vary slightly in phrasing, they consistently describe the same core facts: the location is a federal courthouse in Nashville, the suspect is armed with a gun and a knife, and he is killed by courthouse/security officers after he poses an imminent threat.
