Police officers witnessed Gomes "actively stabbing" another man during a fight near 208 Adams Street at around 11:27 p.m., Commissioner William Gross said.
One officer was attempting to break up the fight when Gomes allegeldy turned and attempted to stab the officer, Gross said. Another officer then shot Gomes in the thigh.
