       Police shoot homegrown "terrorist"

       An officer and an FBI agent approached the suspect at about 7
       a.m. today in the parking lot of a CVS in Roslindale,
       Massachusetts, police said. The suspect then pulled a
       "military-style knife," prompting numerous commands from the
       officer and FBI agent to drop the weapon. But when the suspect
       refused, both the officer and FBI agent opened fire, officials
       said.
       The suspect died at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, police said.
       The man’s name was not immediately released.
       The incident comes as a political debate intensified in
       Washington over renewing key parts of the PATRIOT Act, which
       federal authorities insist allow them to more sufficiently track
       so-called "lone wolf" terrorists and others who radicalize
       themselves online.
       
       Such radicalization "represents the newest element of the
       terrorist threat facing the country, where we have individuals
       who affiliate with terrorist ideologies but do not coordinate
       their operational activities with terrorist organizations," said
       John Cohen, a former top Homeland Security official who is now
       an ABC News contributor.
