An investigation is underway after one person was shot and injured by an Escondido Police officer early Tuesday.

Police were called to a transitional house on the 100 block of S Elm Street, on reports of a man who cut himself and was armed with a knife, San Diego Police Homicide Lt. Lou Maggi said.

Police tried to negotiate with the man, who then barricaded himself inside a bathroom. Officers then left to try to de-escalate the situation, Maggi said.

Police were called again after the man had left the bathroom and was roaming the outside of the property. A K-9 officer arrived to find the man in an alleyway with a “24-inch stick.” After multiple calls from the officer to drop the weapon, the man then charged at the officer, prompting the officer to shoot the man, Maggi said.

The man was shot multiple times and taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The Escondido officer involved in the shooting was not injured.

Neither the man nor the officer has been identified at this time.

The other residents at the transitional housing were safely evacuated.

The San Diego Police Department is investigating the incident per a memorandum of understanding that prevents law enforcement agencies from investigating use-of-force cases involving their own officers.
