Fairfax County Police said three officers arrived at the home in McLean after receiving a call just after 7 p.m. regarding a man in crisis.

Officers responded with a clinician but were initially unable to find Lynch. After another 911 call was made around 8:45 p.m., officers were able to find him inside the residence where both calls originated from. Police said a family friend contacted them because they were worried about Lynch's safety.

Inside the house, police said a struggle occurred when they approached Lynch. They say he threw a tribal mask at the officers and then ran after them swinging a bottle. Tasers were deployed multiple times by two officers, and the third officer fired their weapon — hitting Lynch four times.

Police say they provided Lynch with immediate assistance. But he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The officer who shot Lynch is a ten-year veteran. Body camera footage from all three responding officers will be released to the public within 30 days, according to Fairfax County Police.
