“During the contact, the male stepped away from the deputies and produced a knife,” said a release from the San Diego Police Department. “The male made statements consistent with wanting to be shot by the deputies, then advanced toward them holding the knife in his hand. One deputy fired multiple shots at the man, striking him at least once.”
The man succumbed to his injuries.
“This is a painful and frightening situation for our community, and my heart is with everyone grieving and affected by the traumatic event that happened in IB this weekend,” said Supervisor Paloma Aguirre, whose district includes Imperial Beach.
