Man Dies in Police Shooting in Lincoln

The Lincoln Police Department says a man was shot and killed by police after he lunged at officers with a knife in Lincoln.

The incident occurred last night, Feb. 12, as police responded to 7 Whale Street. They received a report that Derek Beach was at the home and was not allowed to be there due to a protection from abuse order.

Beach was uncooperative and eventually was tased. Sgt. Michael Winslow and Officer Kristofer Milner shot Beach when he lunged at them with a knife.

The Maine Attorney General’s Office is investigating.
