Criminal Tip #12,897: Don't Bring A Knife To A Gunfight

Los Angeles, CA

Don't you just love domestic violence calls? Yeah, that's always fun. Getting in the way of a screaming couple going at each other with table legs and frying pans. Or, as in the case of one 34-year-old David Weisman, a knife.
After obtaining a key from the apartment manager, Officer's Beck and Tajii entered the apartment and encountered Weisman who was armed with a large knife. Weisman refused to comply with the Officers commands to drop the knife and instead lunged toward Officer Beck holding the knife. Officer Beck fired two shots striking Weisman in the upper torso.
Yeah, didn't see that one coming.
