A 38-year-old man armed with a knife was shot several times by an officer after stabbing himself and his mother in their North Long Beach residence in November, body-worn camera footage released on Wednesday, Dec. 13, shows.
On the morning of Nov. 8, a 911 caller reported that her son, Eriberto Penaloza, had started stabbing himself with a knife and was threatening to kill his family at their home in the 300 block of 69th Way, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Officers were initially responding to the incident as an attempted suicide but, while heading to the house, learned that Penaloza had stabbed his mother.
The mother, along with Penaloza’s younger brother, had barricaded themselves inside a bedroom.
