Deputy shoots man allegedly armed with gun, knife in Apple Valley

A San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy shot and wounded an armed man after he shot and wounded a woman in Apple Valley, officials said.

The man, 71-year-old Thoren Rand, was reported for allegedly assaulting a 69-year-old woman in the 15200 Block of Pocahontas Street a few minutes before 8:30 a.m. Monday, the Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

When deputies arrived, the woman ran out of the home while suffering from “severe injuries,” with Rand in pursuit of her, the release said.

“Rand was armed with a large knife and a firearm,” the release said. “The deputy gave Rand numerous commands to drop the weapons, but he refused to comply.”

It was at that point that the deputy opened fire, the release added, striking Rand at least once.

“Through investigation, it was learned Rand physically assaulted the victim and then shot her,” officials said. “She was transported to a hospital where she remains in stable condition.”

Rand is also still hospitalized, though his condition is unknown.

He is being held in Sheriff’s Department custody, and his bail has been set at $1 million.

Rand is due to appear in Victorville Superior Court on Wednesday on an attempted murder charge.
