Saint Paul, Minnesota — On February 11, 2023, around 5 p.m., St. Paul police officers responded to an apartment building on reports of a man threatening residents with a knife. When they arrived, residents directed officers toward a hallway where 65-year-old Yia Xiong was located holding a knife. Xiong’s apartment door was at the end of the short hallway. Officers made verbal contact with Xiong and told him to drop the knife. Xiong did not respond, turning to unlock his apartment door and go inside. As Xiong went inside his apartment and the door began to close, the officers kicked the door to stop it from fully shutting and ordered him to come out. They then backed away from the door and down the short hallway. Xiong opened the door and stepped into the hallway, knife still in-hand. Both officers then fired their respective weapons. First responders attempted to provide medical aid but Xiong died at the scene. BCA crime scene personnel recovered a 16-inch traditional Hmong knife at the scene.

  1. how can a 65 year old man threaten anyone with a knife? he was 65 years old… he aint going to hurt shit with a knife, maybe a gun but not a knife

  2. Taser should have been deployed after the second failure to comply. I know he was wearing a jacket which reduces like likelihood of good prong contact, but there is no reason to delay the attempt.

  3. Wtf is the point of cops even having tasers, they either don't use them or they don't work. Just use a cattle prod at this point. This potentially could have gone differently if the officer woulda used his taser

  4. From my comfy chair I'm thinking "I would have just dropped him with a couple of rounds in his legs with that AR", but I don't expect a police officer to exhibit such skills in the heat of the moment.

  5. What the hell happened to de-escalation here? After all the talks about de-escalation training, and this still happened? All the screaming and yelling by the police is not de-escalating the situation!

  6. I read that someone threatened him with a gun. My guess is that he didn't really wanna hurt anyone but that he was upset about too many people loitering in the lobby of the building so close to his apartment. The people around the entrance really overhyped the threat, telling the cops to hurry like he'd already injured someone even though they were quite comfortable hanging around. And they yelled he had a gun twice. He didn't… I would've liked to hear the 911 call. I bet it was way overhyped in that call as well.

    Found more info:

    "Officials say police were called after Xiong was asked to leave a group event in an apartment complex community room. Witnesses interviewed after the shooting say Xiong wasn't usually aggressive, but was acting erratically the night of the shooting. One tenant said that Xiong wanted the gathering to break up because he wanted sleep."
