LASD releases body cam of a fatal shooting in Palmdale of an armed suspect with a knife

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies shot and killed a man they say was armed with a blade in Palmdale Friday night.

The shooting occurred at about 10:20 p.m. in the 37000 block of Oxford Drive after deputies responded to a report of domestic violence, authorities said in a news release.

The man, who was armed with “an edged weapon,” moved toward the deputies, prompting at least one of them to open fire, according to the department, which said a blade was recovered at the scene.

No information has been released about the man’s age, his name, or how many times he was shot.

The shooting remains under investigation.
