Overview

• Police say Officer Robert Allsup kicked in a locked door, saw a man straddling a roommate with a raised knife, issued commands, and then fired four rounds.
• All four shots struck the suspect, who was taken to a hospital and later died; officials have not released his name pending family notification.
• The roommate survived multiple stab wounds to the hands, chest, lung, and abdomen and has been released from the hospital.
• Investigators say two knives were used after the first broke at the handle, and the department shared bodycam images depicting the encounter.
• Allsup, a 12-year veteran, is on paid administrative leave as the Santa Clara County District Attorney and coroner investigate, and prior reporting cites an Aug. 12 call to the home and a house manager’s account of recent eviction proceedings for the suspect.
