A woman outside the home told authorities her son, Thomas Maisano, 36, was inside with a knife. She said her sister, 72-year-old Josephine Duggan, was also inside. Officers went in and found Maisano on the second floor with a knife. The suspect then got into the front bedroom, and authorities then heard a commotion. All the officers positioned themselves in the hallway and stairwell, and Officer McChord went to a bedroom that connected to the front bedroom.
When he opened the door joining the two rooms, he saw Maisano armed with a knife and discharged his Taser. That’s when the department said Maisano stabbed the victim in the back.Another officer rushed into the room and used his Taser. When that didn’t stop the suspect from stabbing the victim again, Officer McChord fired his gun, hitting Masiano in the torso.“This tragic incident has left a profound impact on this family and the community around them,” Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.
