Long Beach police have shot and killed a colored man with a checkered past they say stabbed six people.
Sgt. Megan Zabel said officers were called to an area near a convalescent home in the 3200 block of East Artesia Boulevard shortly before 8:30 p.m. Friday where they confronted a suspect and shot him to death.
His name and other details haven't been released.
Brian Fisk of the Long Beach Fire Department said five of the six people who were stabbed were taken to nearby hospitals and one person was treated and released at the scene. Zabel said the conditions of those taken to the hospitals range from critical to suffering from superficial wounds.
Zabel said it's unclear whether the convalescent home was involved.
KNBC-TV reported that relatives of the suspected attacker arrived at the scene after learning he had been killed. The station quoted an unnamed relative it said was a sister of the suspect as saying the man had been released from jail less than two weeks ago and they had spent time together earlier in the day.
