ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police in St. Louis say an officer has shot and injured a knife-wielding man who attacked another officer. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the shooting happened just before 4 a.m. Friday in the Walnut Park East neighborhood in north St. Louis. Police say two officers confronted a man at a home during a domestic disturbance call. Police Chief John Hayden said the man knocked down and attempted to stab one of the officers while holding a large kitchen knife, but the officer’s protective vest kept him from being stabbed. Hayden says when the man tried to stab the officer a second time, the other officer shot him.
