Officers responded to a call of an assault with a deadly weapon near a busy intersection. When police arrived, they were directed to Wear, who was holding a knife and swinging it at pedestrians, according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department. Officers ordered Wear to drop the knife, and he refused, prompting two officers to fire multiple rounds, killing him.
