Newly released body camera footage captures the fatal encounter between a man wielding two machetes and deputies in Los Angeles. The man, identified as Jonathan Scott Foster, initially attacked an attendant at a gas station before being confronted by deputies at a nearby grocery store. Despite attempts to negotiate, Foster refused to surrender and reentered the store. Deputies used non-lethal methods to subdue him, but were unsuccessful.
Newly released body camera footage from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows the fatal encounter between a man dual-wielding machetes and deputies last month. The ordeal started in Lancaster when 38-year-old Jonathan Scott Foster bashed through the glass front door of a gas station in the 42700 block of 20th Street West. Security camera footage showed him crouching through the broken door and attacking the attendant with one of the machetes.
The employee suffered a severe laceration to her hand, but it was considered non-life-threatening. Deputies encountered Foster at a nearby Albertsons after receiving a 911 call reporting that a man with a machete was inside the grocery store. With their guns drawn, deputies faced off with Foster as he pulled out his second machete. Authorities tried to talk to Foster but nothing seemed to get him to surrender. Still in a tense standoff and gripping his machetes, Foster walked back into the store. Deputies followed him in and tried to use less-lethal foam rounds and tasers, but Foster shrugged them of
