Ventura County deputies shoot man who had knives, and a homemade bow and arrow
Ventura County deputies shot an allegedly armed man in Thousand Oaks early Sunday morning.
It happened a little before 7 a.m. when deputies were on Avenida de los Arboles, according to a statement from Ventura County Sheriff's Department officials.
"The incident began when deputies made contact with a 37-year-old man who was observed holding a knife," the statement said. "During the contact, the man advanced towards one of the deputies in a threatening manner with another device that appeared to be a bow and arrow."
Deputies say that despite ordering the man to drop the weapon several times, he did not comply and continued to "aggressively approach" the deputy.
"As a result, an officer-involved shooting occurred," deputies said.
They rendered medical aid to the suspect until he was taken to a nearby hospital by paramedics. He is said to be in critical but stable condition at the latest.
Investigators say that a knife and an item that "looked similar to a bow" were recovered at the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
