CORONA, Calif. (AP) - Officers responding to a domestic violence call in Southern California say they fatally shot a man after he critically wounded his wife and pointed a rifle at police.
Corona police said Wednesday that officers responded to calls about a domestic violence dispute at a home involving a possibly armed man and an injured woman on Tuesday night.
When officers arrived, police Officer Tobias Kouroubacalis (kuh-ROO’-buh-kal-is) says they positioned a rescue vehicle outside the home and began trying to communicate with the man. That’s when Kouroubacalis says the 68-year-old man pointed a rifle at them, prompting them to fatally shoot him.
