Police shot and killed a man who they say stabbed another man to death in Midwood. 

Officers were called to a seventh-floor apartment at 820 Ocean Parkway at around 7 p.m. Monday where they found a 47-year-old man with a knife. They say a 35-year-old woman, her 51-year-old boyfriend and two young children were also inside the apartment. 

Officers told the armed man to drop the knife, but he refused. He was then shot and pronounced dead at the scene. The 51-year-old man died after being rushed to the hospital with stab wounds. 

The two children, ages 6 and 7, and their mother were not hurt.

Two knives were recovered from the scene, and the investigation is ongoing.
