RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) - Police in the San Francisco Bay Area have shot and killed a man they say stabbed his estranged wife and teenage son.
Richmond police say officers were sent to a home at around 2:30 a.m. Thursday by a report that the man had broken a window and entered the home where three family members lived. He reportedly was threatening them with a knife.
Police say arriving officers interrupted the man as he was attacking a boy on a back patio.
