Koch said officers issued commands to Wieland to put down the knife and he refused to do so.
Wieland kept approaching officers, at one point throwing 10 kitchen-style knives at the officers, Koch said.
Officials said officers shot at least 10 pepper balls at Wieland.
Wieland was said to be taunting the officers and threatening them to use lethal force on him, officials said.
Koch said officers stayed in their positions outside the residence when Wieland, refusing to listen to verbal commands and kept approaching the officers, was shot in the abdomen.
Koch said the officer is being interviewed by department personnel and was not injured.
The officer has served less than two years with BAPD, Koch said.
