A 22-year-old man shot and killed by Virginia Beach police officers responding to a domestic stabbing last weekend had previously attacked his mother with scissors, according to court records.
Virginia Beach police said they were called on July 20 to a home in the 4100 block of White Beam Court for a report of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they were confronted by Marques Hasbrouck, who was armed with a 20-inch crowbar and a 27-inch metal rod, according to a news release.
After Hasbrouck refused to drop the weapons, police said, they deployed a stun gun, but it wasn’t effective. Hasbrouck was charging at officers when more than one of them fired at him, police said. Inside, officers found his mother, Victoria Hasbrouck, dead, and two other relatives seriously injured.
Police had been to the family’s home for an attack in November 2017, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Virginia Beach Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. The document said that Hasbrouck, then 16, and his mother had gotten into a dispute over him playing video games and not taking his medications.
