wound after officers confronted him. Officials said there is no ongoing threat to the community.<\/p>\n

At a vigil, surviving sibling Johnathan McFarland said, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to even think that this is even real.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still in denial,\u201d and added, \u201cI will forever love and miss my mom,<\/p>\n
