Deputies shoot, kill knife-and-crossbow-w ielding man in Lancaster
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have fatally shot a man they say was wielding a knife outside a business in Lancaster Sunday afternoon.
The Sheriff’s Department was called for a reported disturbed man with a knife in the 1800 block of West Avenue J at 1:08 p.m., authorities said.
A little less than half an hour later, at least one deputy opened fire, officials said, and the man was taken by ambulance to a local hospital in unknown condition.
He was later pronounced dead, the LASD added in an alert, and no deputies were hurt.
Photos from the scene show what appears to be a small crossbow, which one witness said is what prompted the police to open fire.
