Altadena CA - LASD Deputy Involved Shooting Of Foolio McStabby

Altadena CA - Deputies responded to a call regarding a male, later identified as 47-year-old Charles Towns, chasing and attempting to stab people with a sharp metal object.
When deputies arrived at the location, they saw Towns walking south. The deputies followed Towns in their patrol vehicles as he walked west. One of the pursuing deputies exited his patrol vehicle and ordered Towns to stop and drop his weapon.
Towns did not comply and continued to walk south, where they witnessed him stab an elderly female in the face. Towns, while still armed with the sharp object, was actively attempting to stab another person, at which time a deputy-involved shooting occurred.
Towns fell to the ground, got up, and advanced toward a deputy as the deputy-involved shooting continued. Towns collapsed at the apron of the driveway, approx. 10 to 12 feet from where he initially fell.
Towns sustained gunshot wounds to his torso. Deputies rendered first aid to Towns until LAFD paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two civilians were injured from stabbing/cutting injuries in this incident.
