GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina sheriff's deputy called to help in a domestic dispute shot and killed a 17-year-old after officials say the teen approached him with a knife.
Multiple media outlets reported that Christian Rook was pronounced dead Tuesday at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro. Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes says Deputy Barry Glossan shot Rook once in the chest after he advanced on the officer while holding a kitchen knife. A knife was in the street near where Rook fell.
Barnes says deputies went to the home after a report of an argument involving Rook and his brother.
The News & Record of Greensboro said court records showed Rook spent 12 days in jail in December on charges of assault and battery, though it was not clear if Rook had been convicted.
