Officers have fatally shot a knife-wielding man at a popular Southern California restaurant after pursuing him from the scene of a nearby machete attack
Officers fatally shot a knife-wielding man on the patio of a popular Southern California restaurant after pursuing him from the scene of a nearby machete attack, police said. None of the many customers inside the Sagebrush Cantina were hurt in the Wednesday night incident and the victim of the machete attack was not seriously injured, the Los Angeles Police Department said in social media posts.
The officers saw the suspect running away and followed him down the road to the Sagebrush Cantina, police said. The suspect was in a parking lot, holding a knife in one hand and a glass bottle in the other, when officers twice discharged Tasers but he continued into the restaurant's patio area and was shot after he turned and faced the officers while still armed, police said. The man was given first-aid and then was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
