The resident of a home reported a man “pounding” on his front door. While Santa Cruz police were en route, the man called back and said the man was now at the back door of the residence and yelling that he wanted to kill everyone inside, according to police. When officers arrived, they called the man out of the backyard. The man proceeded to attack the officers with a metal bow rake and refused repeated commands to drop the tool. When Tasers proved ineffective in stopping the suspect, he was shot and killed.
