Police shot and killed a man Wednesday morning who was carrying a samurai sword, but they’re not offering many details about what happened.

Witnesses reported the man, identified Thursday as 22-year-old Darrien Hunt, walking around with the martial arts weapon outside a convenience store in Saratoga Springs, Utah.

A 911 caller described Hunt as a “suspicious person” who was waving the sword around about 9:40 a.m. in the parking lot of Top Stop Convenience Store.

“There’s no blade on it — it’s just a rounded edge,” said Cindy Moss. “It’d be like hitting someone with a stick, and they murdered him over it.”
