Naked Man Fatally Shot by Security Guard During Alleged Knife Attack at Palmdale, CA McDonald's
2019-04-15
[KTLA5] A security guard shot and killed a man following an alleged knife attack on an elderly man at a Palmdale McDonald's on Sunday afternoon, witnesses said.

The violence took place about 4:30 p.m. at the restaurant at 2427 E. Avenue S.

A man was shot by a security guard amid an alleged knife attack at a McDonald's restaurant in Palmdale on April 14, 2019.

Juan Paiz, who owns the involved security company, Paiz Patrol, said he was still gathering information.

The attacker had crashed a car into a nearby Carl's Jr. restaurant prior to heading to the McDonald's and stripping off his clothes, according to officials and witnesses.

"(He) apparently started stabbing several patrons," Paiz said. "At that point, security approached him. He tried to stab a security officer and the security officer defended himself by firing his service weapon."

The attacker stabbed an 88-year-old man who was eating with his grandson, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. Brandon Dean said. The victim was in stable condition.

The wounded suspect, described as a 29-year-old man, was taken away in an ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later, officials said.

Deputies found the suspect's knife at the scene, according to Deputy Tracey Koerner of the Sheriff's Information Bureau.

#5  ;-) Just a little midlife/nolife/identity crisis. I'll get over it... probably. If it's too annoying, please don't spare the bat.

Beware of them old Mountain Jooz
They don't wear no shoes nor sing blues
With their drum and their fife
They'll enliven yer life
They're them good old Mountain Jooz

#3  Caucasians, mark my words. Totally knife crazy, all of 'em.

Caucasians! They're all about Jacksons,
Inventors of cocaine and klaxons
And slavery and swords
And big numbers and words,
So look out for those angling Saxons!
