Denver Police officers worked for nearly an hour to bring a hostage situation to a peaceful conclusion before fatally shooting a man who was armed with a knife inside a northeast Denver home and holding two people hostage earlier this month.

About 8:30 p.m. May 1, Denver Police said, officers responded to a family disturbance in the 2000 block of North Oneida Street in the South Park Hill neighborhood.

"Throughout the interaction, the suspect seemed agitated and was often yelling while speaking," DPD commander Matt Clark said Wednesday. "At times he appeared to be yelling at the two individuals he was holding in the room."

DPD released a nearly hourlong clip of body camera footage.
