Mesa police shoot and kill man who charged with metal object

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Police in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa say officers fatally shot a man who charged at them while holding a sharp metal tool. The incident happened after a homeowner called police at about 7:30 a.m. Monday to report someone they did not know had jumped a fence into their backyard. Police say 49-year-old James Schild of Mesa came out of the back yard holding a large framing square over his head and charged at officers.  Police say officers used a stun gun and bean bag rounds to get Schild to stop but he didn’t comply. They say at least one officer opened fire and Schild was declared dead at the scene.
