The Denver Police Department said this week that a person they shot and killed last week was a transgender individual who tried to attack a police officer with a large knife.

The suspect, 52-year-old Miguel Tapia, a man who claimed that he was a woman, tried to attack a police officer last week with a 7-inch knife, according to body camera footage that was released of the incident.

The shooting happened last Sunday in an intersection when police confronted Tapia and told him to drop what he was holding and to put his hands on his head.

Tapia started aggressively moving toward the police officer with the knife in his hand, at which point two police officers fired tasers at him in an effort to stop him.

When the tasers were unsuccessful, the police officer that he was running after pulled out his pistol and unloaded several shots into the attacker. Another officer also fired at the suspect.

DPD Commander Matt Clark refused to discuss the suspect’s prior criminal history during the press conference and said anyone who wanted to know what it was could go look it up themselves.

Activists posted records online purporting to be related to the suspect that indicated he had been convicted of various crimes against children.

Police said at a press conference that it was possible that he was also an illegal alien. The Daily Wire has reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment about the matter.

Far-left Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his primary race against moderate Westchester County executive George Latimer on Tuesday after the party pushed to oust him following his move to become a radical anti-Semite.

With just over half of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for Latimer, saying that he was up 54.5% to 45.5%.

Bowman denied many of the atrocities that took place during the October 7 massacre, falsely claiming that reports of mass rape and babies being beheaded was Israeli “propaganda.” He also refused to condemn Hamas’ terrorist attack because he disagreed with calling the attack “unprovoked.”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro explained on his show this week Bowman’s embrace of anti-Semitism, saying that he had become a “full scale anti-Semite.”

Jamaal Bowman and AOC are the emissaries of the Democratic Party future: elected dullards somehow considered visionaries because they spout intersectional Jew-hating bullshit and are racially diverse. If that’s what Democrats think a winning coalition looks like, good luck to… pic.twitter.com/18BoIyhrWk
