A man who was shot to death by police in Ontario, Calif., after approaching them with a samurai-style sword died in a case of “suicide by cop,” officials said Wednesday.
The man, whose identity was not being released until his next of kin were notified, had called Ontario police before the confrontation Tuesday night and said that “he wanted to die, he had a gun, he was going to shoot,” Ontario police Sgt. Jeff Higbee told the Los Angeles Times.
Officers went to the scene and found the man inside his parked truck with the lights off. When the officers pulled behind him in their own car, the man “took off,” Higbee said.
