Fairfax County Police officers shot and killed a man in McLean Thursday night after a struggle between the man and the officers, according to the police department.

Jasper Aaron Lynch, 22, of McLean was holding a bottle and an object, believed to be a large decorative wooden tribal mask, police said. The department said three officers attempted to de-escalate the situation with verbal commands inside the foyer of Lynch’s home.

Lynch then threw the mask at an officer and began to swing the bottle in a striking motion, according to police. Two officers attempted to use their Tasers on Lynch. But Lynch ran toward the officers while swinging the bottle, police said. The third police officer then fired his gun, hitting Lynch four times.  Click here to continue.
