At the time a friend was behind Sierra struggling for control of the knife. When Hood got out of his patrol vehicle, he yelled at Sierra multiple times to drop the knife Sierra, police said, “raised the knife, pointed it at Officer Hood, increased his speed, and continued to advance.” Once Sierra was within 5 to 10 feed of Hood, the officer shot and killed him.
