San Bernardino Police Fatally Shoot Man Threatening Son with Knife

A domestic disturbance in San Bernardino escalated to a fatal police shooting on Saturday evening when officers confronted a man allegedly threatening his juvenile son with a knife. Police received multiple calls around 5:32 p.m. reporting the suspect chasing the child, prompting officers to respond. After arriving on the scene, police attempted de-escalation tactics, including verbal commands, a Taser, and less-lethal bean bag rounds, but the man refused to comply. He reportedly swung the knife and ran back toward his residence, leading officers to discharge their weapons. The suspect was pronounced dead at a local hospital after being taken there by paramedics. The incident is under investigation by the San Bernardino Police Department's Homicide Unit, with oversight from the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
