Police were called to a house around 2:40 p.m. by a family member of Larry San Nicolas. The man was acting despondent, irrational and violent. When officers arrived, San Nicolas came out holding two samurai-type swords. When he refused to comply with commands from officers, an officer shot him with two bean bag rounds, which reportedly did not incapacitate him. He allegedly rushed toward the officers, and he was shot and killed.
