Man Dies After Being Shot by Police in Sunnyvale

An armed man shot by officers at his Sunnyvale home this afternoon has died, a Department of Public Safety spokesman said.

Around 12:15 p.m., three officers attempted to contact the man at his apartment in the 1200 block of Ayala Drive near South Bernardo Avenue, public safety Capt. Jeff Hunter said.

Officers had been called to the scene based on a report from a woman related to the man about a felony battery incident that had just happened, according to Hunter.

The officers confronted the man, who was armed with a knife and allegedly charged at them, Hunter said. The officers fired at the suspect within close proximity, according to Hunter.

The suspect was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Hunter.

None of the officers were injured, Hunter said.

No other details about the incident were immediately available.
