Episode Details

In a shocking July incident in East San Jose, two officers confronted a man who had just stabbed his young son with a butcher knife. Despite repeated commands to drop the weapon, the man refused and escalated the situation by charging at the officers with the knife raised. Within minutes of arrival, he stood up, lunged toward them, and shouted he wanted to be killed — even saying he didn’t want to traumatize the officers. The officers fired 14 shots, killing him. The DA’s report concluded their use of lethal force was lawful, citing imminent danger to both the child and officers. The police chief called it the most extreme case he’s seen in 30 years, and though the suspect had no local record, he had a history of moving around.
