In Curvelo, Brazil, a 38-year-old man was shot dead by police after he confronted officers with a knife. The incident unfolded during a preventive patrol when police encountered the man attacking a 34-year-old victim who was already on the ground. The police attempted to intervene by ordering the aggressor to drop his weapon, but he ignored their commands, escalating the situation.

As the man continued to advance towards the officers, displaying aggressive behavior, they employed a neuromuscular incapacitation device in an effort to subdue him. However, the man persisted in his attack, prompting police to consider their own safety and that of others nearby. In response to the imminent threat posed by the man's actions, officers resorted to using deadly force, resulting in the fatal shooting of the aggressor.

The police, immediately after the shooting, provided first aid to the man before he was transported to a hospital. This incident raises questions about police use of force protocols, particularly regarding how officers handle situations involving armed individuals who demonstrate aggressive behavior, and highlights the risks faced by law enforcement in such volatile circumstances.
