By this point, police officers had also arrived on scene and were attempting to calm down the situation and get Greg to surrender.

They made a circle around Greg, ordering him to drop the knife.

He didn't, and he actually began to lunge at one of the officers with the knife, resulting in that officer shooting Greg to stop him from hurting anybody else.

After he went down, paramedics got him into an ambulance for treatment.

But as they did so, Greg asked them to let him die.

She went into a state of panic as first responders arrived and as she watched Greg be shot by police, only to find that Luke was dead from his injuries.

Of course, this was all just incredibly traumatizing and Rosie was in a state of shock.

Rosie always feared that something like this would happen.

She knew that Greg was violent, and after that incident with Greg showing Luke the knife, she knew that Luke's life was also in danger.

She did absolutely everything she could to protect Luke, going to the courts numerous times, taking out orders of protection, and getting police involved anytime something happened.

but she never thought that Greg would act out this way in a public place.
