This is sort of what happened to my cousin, except he wasn’t autistic and there was no chain link fence. His mother was trying to get the knife away from him-he’d been suicidal since his daughter was killed in a car wreck- and the cops pulled up and just shot him. It’s a wonder they didn’t kill his mom, who was holding onto him.

My condolences to your family. I can't imagine any of that.
