Man killed after confronting cops, police say - Aug 2010
SAN JOSE -- A San Jose man who had tried to kill himself with a nail gun was shot and killed by police Sunday morning after he confronted three officers while holding a knife, police officials said. Police were called to a home on Wong Court about 9:15 a.m. by a woman who said her estranged 42-year-old husband had tried to commit suicide with a nail gun, said San Jose Police Sgt. Ronnie Lopez.
Police tried to contact the man from outside the home. But when he did not respond to repeated requests,
officers broke in and found the man with self-inflicted wounds, Lopez said. He was also holding a 10-inch knife, and when he confronted the officers, they shot him, Lopez said. The man, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. The names of the officers in the shooting were also not released.
