Officers responded to the 3400 block of South Main Street around 10:30 p.m. after a man had called police and said his girlfriend’s son was under the influence, destroying property and had stabbed him, police officials said in a news release. Officers arrived at the scene and found the 16-year-old armed with a knife, according to the release. The officers shot the teen, who died at the scene.
In domestic situations like this, arriving officers’ “main goal is to deescalate the situation,” Santa Ana police spokesperson Natalie Garcia told reporters at the scene Sunday night.
“Our officers did the best they could to de-escalate that situation ... from occurring into something fatal. ”The Santa Ana Police Department’s Homicide Unit, the Internal Affairs Division, and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will investigate the shooting.

It turns out you can burn down a neighborhood and not destroy a community.
We’ve seen evidence of this all across L.A. and so we will head back to one neighborhood that’s a good example of that bond: West Poppyfields Drive in Altadena. Today we discuss one of the pivotal events of the 1960s: the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Though the gunman was caught at the scene, confessed at trial, and even bragged about the shooting, his motives have largely been forgotten.
For this episode of De Los Podcast, hosts Fidel Martínez and Suzy Exposito sit down with Sen Dog, founding member and rapper of Cypress Hill — one of the first Latino hip-hop groups to break into the American mainstream.
