San Diego Police Shoots Man Brandishing Knife
A San Diego man was shot and killed in his North Park home by a San Diego police officer after he proceeded to attack the officer with a knife.
The San Diego fatal shooting occured after San Diego police were called out to the North Park home around 11:00 a.m. to check on a 56 year-old man’s mental state in the 3400 block of Alabama Street after a call was made to police by a family member.
The knife wielding man who lived with his mother refused to drop the weapon he was carrying after police officers ordered him to. He told police they would have to kill him first, according to San Diego Police Department Lt. Kevin Rooney.
As the man approached the officer with the knife another officer fatally shot him. The man was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital where he died a little while later.
