BOISE, Idaho — **UPDATE**
The Boise Police Department has identified the officers involved in the August 3 shooting as Corporal. A. Johnson (23 years of law enforcement experience), and Officer G. Miller (2 years of law enforcement experience).
The investigation is ongoing.
**ORIGINAL STORY**
A man, identified as Ada County Coroner's office as Christian Johnson, 54, was killed by police Thursday morning after police say he charged toward them with weapons. It happened in an apartment complex near Ann Morrison Park.
Just before 11:00 am, officers were alerted to an incident at the 1100 block of S. Dale Street, making contact with a man in his 50's.
After coming outside, police say the man produced weapons - at least one with a sharp edge - visible to officers and refused commands requesting he drop the weapons. Officers say he then aggressively charged the officers resulting in two officers discharging their weapons. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe Johnson was the person who had originally contacted police to come to the address.
The Ada County Critical Incident Task Force led by the Meridian PD has begun their investigation into the incident. The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, as per department policy.
This is the most recent of six officer-involved shootings in Boise so far this year.

Boise Police Chief Ron Winegar continued to express his concerns at people's willingness to approach officers with deadly force. Winegar previously addressed the uptick in this trend at the scene of another fatal shooting just last week.
