Police shot a man twice Thursday in a hotel hallway, ending a multi-hour effort to resolve a standoff that began with an apparent mental health crisis.
Thursday evening, officers responded shortly after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to reports of the man breaking out a window and smashing items after locking himself inside a fourth-floor room at the Hampton Inn & Suites, 1201 California Ave.
Officers also spoke with several of the man’s family members, who said they were trying to get him help during a mental health crisis and asked for help from the department’s crisis-intervention team and the county’s mental health evaluation and mobile crisis response teams. After seeing the man swinging a large butcher knife around inside the room, police reached out to the department’s tactical team, who came just before 9 p.m.
