Dad accused of threatening juvenile son dies in police shooting, CA cops say
Police fatally shot a father accused of threatening to kill his son, California officials said.
Officers 'pleaded' with the father to drop his knife and tried 'several de-escalation methods,' including a Taser and bean bag rounds, the San Bernardino Police Department said in an April 7 news release.
But the man, whose name wasn't released, 'continued to ignore commands and actively resisted all de-escalation measures. He then swung the knife and began running back toward the residence, at which point an officer-involved shooting occurred,' police said.
The father was taken to a hospital, where he later was pronounced dead, according to police.
The shooting happened April 5 after a relative called police and reported that the father was threatening the son, police said. The son's age wasn't released, but he was described by police as a 'juvenile.'
The police dispatch center also got calls 'from uninvolved citizens reporting that an adult male was armed with a knife and chasing a juvenile in the street,' according to police.
San Bernardino is about a 65-mile drive east from Los Angeles.

Waterman man charged with attempted murder of 71-year-old relative in Big Rock Township
An 18-year-old man from Waterman has been charged with attempted murder after what police said was a domestic disturbance that involved a threat to kill a 71-year-old family member on Saturday in Big Rock Township, according to a press release from the Kane County Sheriff's Office. Koda Uebel, 18, of Waterman, has been charged with one count of first degree attempted murder, two counts of aggravated domestic battery, one count of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm to a person 60 years old or older, two counts of aggravated battery to a peace officer, two counts of domestic battery, one count of resisting an officer and one county of possession or consumption of alcohol by a minor, according to the release. At around 12:06 a.m. on Saturday, deputies responded to a call about a possible domestic disturbance involving two family members at a home on the 300 block of Lincoln Avenue in Big Rock Township, according to the release. Deputies said that through a locked front door they saw a man, later identified as Uebel, punching, slapping and kicking a woman, as well as threatening to kill her, the release said. The deputies forced entry into the home and assisted the woman to safety, the release said, but the man is then accused of attacking the deputies. A Taser was used to gain control of the man, and, during that time, the man bit one of the deputies, but ultimately was restrained, according to the release. The woman, 71, was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva with serious injuries, the release said. She remains hospitalized but in stable condition, officials said. The injured deputy and Uebel were evaluated at Delnor and medically cleared, according to the release. The deputy was released that night, per the news release, and Uebel was taken into the custody of the Kane County Sheriff's Office. Uebel will have a pretrial release detention hearing on June 5.

Joshua Gullatt, 22, was identified Monday as the man who BSO officers shot the day before on the 4000 block of Southwest 26th Street. Gullatt faces a slew of charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. READ MORE: BSO deputy shot man after he punched another officer in the face, officials say Around 12:20 p.m., BSO spokesman Carey Codd said deputies went to 4017 Southwest 26th Street in West Park to respond to a call of a 'disturbance involving a weapon.' When they arrived, Gullatt punched one of the deputies and knocked him to the ground. Another deputy tried to subdue Gullatt with a Taser stun gun, Codd added. Gullatt then hit that deputy and ran into a bedroom, arming himself with a 'deadly weapon,' according to the sheriff's office, which did not specify the weapon. Codd said that's when one of the deputies opened fire and shot Gullatt. BSO deputies provided first aid before paramedics took him to the hospital. As of Monday evening, he remained in the hospital and his condition was not immediately. There's also no available information on his legal representation. Paramedics also took the deputy who was hit to the ground to the hospital, where Codd noted he was treated for his injuries and released. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting by the deputies. BSO's Internal Affairs Unit is also conducting an administrative review of the shooting, according to Codd. The sheriff's Office Homicide and Crime Scene detectives are investigating the circumstances that led to deputies being called to the scene. The deputy who fired his weapon is on administrative assignment pending the investigation, Codd said.
