Knife Attack Ends in Fatal Shooting at BBQ | Venice Beach News

Witnesses described the moment as terrifying, likening it to a horror movie, as the man refused to drop the knife despite being told to. Homicide investigators are now on the scene, interviewing staff and patrons to reconstruct the events — and the investigation is still ongoing.
