San Francisco, January 20 (China News Service) -- The US media reported on the 20th local time that a man armed with two guns at San Francisco International Airport was killed by the police on the same day.
The Los Angeles Times quoted San Francisco International Airport spokesman Doug Yakkel as saying that police arrived at the scene at around 7:30 a.m. after receiving a report that a man with two guns appeared at the entrance of a MRT station at the airport. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Yaker said police tried to de-escalate the situation, "but the suspects continued to exhibit threatening behavior." The police fired bean bag shells at him, but the other party continued to move forward. The police then fired several shots at him "to remove the threat".
San Francisco Police Department Officer Grace Gat Pandan said police gave first aid to the man, who died instantly. The suspect's name has not been released, but Gat Pandan said police did not believe he was a terrorist.
Yaker said a passerby suffered minor injuries, possibly caused by a bouncing bullet. He has been treated and has been discharged from the hospital.
ABC reported that a Bay Area MRT spokesman said the entire incident took place near the MRT station entrance in the airport terminal, not inside the station.
Airport officials said the situation was brought under control at around 8.20 a.m. After canceling a few trains, the MRT service to San Francisco International Airport resumed around 9 p.m. According to the report, the incident had little impact on airport operations. The airport temporarily closed a security checkpoint and rescheduled passengers to another terminal for inspection.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement on the 20th that his office is investigating the incident under Act 1506 of The House. The bill requires California to investigate incidents of police shootings of civilians who are not armed. In the case that occurred on the 20th, it was not clear whether the man was armed when the police opened fire. The California Attorney General's Office said it had sent a team to the scene to assess the situation. (End)
