Police responded to a 911 call Saturday about an agitated, suicidal man in the Suffolk County hamlet of Shirley.
When an officer arrived, the man - whom police identified as 57-year-old Walter Kellogg - threatened to harm himself with a knife and started cutting himself. Police say he then turned the knife on the officer, who fired a fatal shot.
Kellogg was pronounced dead at Long Island Community Hospital.
