Police officers who shot and killed a man who lunged at them with a large kitchen knife have insisted that they acted in self defence.

Darrius Kennedy screamed 'Shoot me, shoot me' as he brandished an 11-inch IKEA kitchen knife at the veteran officers.

Kennedy lunged at the officers, at times coming to within two feet of them.

On Sunday, Kennedy's relatives said the situation should have been handled much differently.

His aunt, Margaret Johnson, told the New York Daily News: 'It doesn't take 12 bullets to kill one person... I think it could have been done another way.'

One officer, a 40-year-old on the police force for 18 years, fired three times while his 30-year-old partner, a seven-year-veteran, fired off nine rounds as horrified witnesses took cover.
