Overview

A man allegedly holding a woman at knifepoint in front of his two children was shot and killed by a San Bernardino police officer late Saturday morning.

The unidentified 49-year-old man was taken to a hospital where he later died, said Sgt. Vicki Cervantes.

The man, allegedly armed with the knife, had reportedly gotten into an argument with a neighbor just before 11:30 a.m. in the 500 block of Tia Juana Street, she said. The neighbor managed to flag down an officer and told the officer the knife-wielding man had run into a nearby home where two women and the man’s children were staying, officials said.
