The Suffolk County Police Department commissioner said the officers fired a taser, and then their service weapon to stop the attack.

A man who allegedly attacked a police officer, stabbing him in the snowy front yard of a Long Island home, was fatally shot and killed Saturday morning, police said.

Waring said two of those officers walked up to the front of the home, with one of the officers opening a screen door, when the caller's husband allegedly charged at them. The man was armed with a large knife, police said, when he jumped on top of one of the officers and started stabbing the cop. The injured officer was taken to a local hospital, where doctors said a full recovery was expected but there was the possibility of nerve damage.
