Seattle police officers fatally shoot a man who threatened them with a gun after responding to reports of an armed individual in south Seattle.

Bodycam video shows Paleli drawing a firearm and pointing it at the officers, leading them to discharge their weapons. Despite immediate first aid efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
