Officers from the San Fernando Police Department were responding to a call regarding a possible battery assault call for service. Police say Corrales attacked at least one of them with a tree branch, instead hitting the officer's patrol vehicle. The officer attempted to use a Taser but it had no effect due to the layers of clothing the suspect was wearing. The man again approached the police officer, who shot and killed him.
