1 July 2019 Aaron Hong (23) Georgia (Athens, Georgia) Athens-Clarke County police responded to a call of a man acting in a erratic and threatening manner holding a butcher knife and covered in blood. Arriving at the scene officers confronted the man (later identified as Aaron Hong) who disregarded their demands to drop the weapon and charged at one of the officers, which the latter responded to by shooting and striking Hong multiple times. Despite this Hong managed to wrestle the firearm from the office, and another officer also started shooting at the man. Despite receiving treatment, Hong died shortly after. Paramedics also confirmed that the blood Hong was covered in prior to the confrontation was his own.[4]
