Law-enforcement officers continue to investigate Monday's fatal police shooting of an 18-year-old who allegedly stabbed his mother with a butter knife.
Alexander May, who graduated from Winter Park High School earlier this summer, was shot by a Maitland police officer who responded to May's home after his mother called 911.
Police said May repeatedly stabbed his mother, Diana May, 60, in the torso.
At least one officer went inside the May residence on Dommerich Drive around 7:30 a.m., but authorities have not released details about the shooting.
Alexander May ended up shot to death on the bathroom floor, armed with a butter knife and a 16-inch barbecue fork, Maitland police have said.

Kansas Vietnam Memorial Causes Wall Between Veterans
In Kansas, Proposed Monument to a Wartime Friendship Tests the Bond

Published: August 2, 2009
WICHITA, Kan. — This city’s small population of Vietnamese-Americans imagined a new monument in Veterans Memorial Park, a peaceful slope along the Arkansas River blooming with monuments to soldiers gone.
They pictured an American service member, in bronze, his arm resting protectively around the shoulder of a South Vietnamese comrade — an appreciation, they said, of the Americans’ alliance in a war that shaped their lives.
But in an effort to remember an old friendship, the bond seemed to come apart a little.
To the surprise of the Vietnamese here, some American veterans objected to the plan. And after long, tense talks, a compromise emerged last month at City Hall: the monument will sit just outside the John S. Stevens Veterans Memorial Park (named for a former local official and veteran), set apart from the rest of the memorials by a landscaped, six-foot earthen berm, with no sidewalk between.
