So.. they should not have responded to another resident calling with concerns about a man with a knife?

You said it better and in fewer words than I did.

First, the article doesn't clarify who called in the report. Second, it's too early to tell. A man holding a knife in a house in and of itself doesn't warrant police attention. Third, the headline and article are written in a weird way by separating the firing of the officer's gun and the guy getting shot.

A man inside a house holding a knife, by itself, is not even observable never mind reportable. This should be common sense.
