Machete-Wielding Man Fatally Shot by Deputies in California Grocery Store

The man charged at Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies after they attempted to subdue him with non-lethal methods.

A man armed with two machetes was fatally shot by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies at an Albertsons grocery store in Lancaster after he charged at them.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning when deputies responded to a disturbance call. The man initially had the machetes in his backpack but became agitated and grabbed them.
Deputies attempted to subdue the man using non-lethal methods, including stun guns, before he charged at them, leading to the fatal shooting.
No deputies or bystanders were injured during the incident. The man had previously attacked a gas station employee earlier in the day.
The shooting is under investigation by the sheriff's homicide and internal affairs bureaus, with oversight from the Office of the Inspector General and a legal analysis by the L.A. County district attorney's office.
