- Police received a call of someone trying to break into cars and dispatched officers to the scene.
- At the scene, officers found McDonald standing next to a car with a knife.
- Officers followed McDonald in their squad cars until more officers arrived. Then McDonald punctured the front tire of one of the squad cars.
- Officers then got out of their car and approached McDonald, telling him to drop the knife.
- The Tribune report then reads: "The boy allegedly lunged at police, and one of the officers opened fire."
- McDonald was shot in the chest, taken to an area hospital, and pronounced dead there.
