Officers said when they arrived on the scene they found Lowe with a 12-inch butcher knife.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the department said officers tried to taser Lowe twice but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Police said Lowe continued to threaten officers with the knife, prompting the fatal shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lowe&#8217;s family said he couldn&#8217;t have been a threat because he was in a wheelchair, and they need more answers from law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You guys knew your lives wasn&#8217;t in danger,&#8221; said Gorum. &#8220;He&#8217;s running on his limbs.
