Man with a gun and knife is fatally shot by security at Nashville federal courthouse, police say

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A man armed with a pistol and knife was fatally shot by a security officer Thursday just inside the busy entrance of a federal courthouse in Tennessee’s largest city, authorities said.The 42-year-old man tried to fire his gun but failed and then pulled out a knife around 9:30 a.m., said Don Aaron, spokesperson for Metro Nashville Police.“The security individual fired on the armed individual,” Aaron said, adding that the man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.He was later identified by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation as Jack Henson II. No hometown was released, though police earlier said he was from out of state.Investigators didn't immediately know why he was at the courthouse, and a search of his car found “nothing threatening,” Aaron said.Courthouse visitors must go through a security checkpoint, which is common at all federal courts. The entrances are typically staffed by armed former police officers contracted by the U.S. Marshals Se
