A man was shot and killed by police early on March 15, 2024, after brandishing a knife at the St. Louis Lambert International Airport. According to St. Louis County Police spokesperson Vera Clay, the incident occurred shortly after 1 a.m. when officers noticed an individual in a restricted area who refused to comply with their requests to leave.
When approached by officers, the man displayed a knife, prompting the law enforcement personnel to deploy Tasers in an attempt to subdue him. Despite this, the individual continued to advance toward the officers. Clay stated that, in response to the perceived threat, an officer discharged his firearm, fatally injuring the man.
No other individuals were reported injured during the incident. The police have not released further details about the identity of the deceased or the circumstances leading to his presence in the restricted area of the airport.
