Dallas Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in North Dallas.

Officers were called to a home near Farr Hills Lane and Knollwood around 7:45 last night after reports of a man threatening a woman with a knife.

As officers approached the house, the man came out and was shot - though investigators are not saying yet what led to the gunfire.

The scene remained active for several hours overnight in the residential area just south of Spring Valley and west of Coit.
