Original Note:
Sydney Wilson aggressively attacked the officer with a knife in spite of his attempts to retreat and de-escalate with verbal commands. A knife attack can cause serious bodily injury or death and therefore deadly force is permitted under Virginia law. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title19.2/chapter7.1/section19.2-83.5/ https://fcpdnews.wordpress.com/2024/10/14/chief-kevin-davis-releases-body-worn-camera-footage-from-reston-officer-involved-shooting/
