Los Angeles Police Department’s YouTube channel<\/a>, at one point, Singh appeared to cut his tongue with the massive knife.<\/p>\n“Officers gave multiple commands for Singh to drop the weapon,” said police in an update. “However, he failed to comply. Singh then returned to his vehicle, retrieved a water bottle, and threw it at the officers.”<\/p>\n
Singh then took off in his car, waving the machete outside the driver’s side window, according to police.<\/p>\n
Police said officers then initiated a brief pursuit in which Singh “drove erratically” and crashed with an officer’s vehicle.<\/p>\n
Singh stopped near Figueroa and 12th streets and charged at the officers with the machete, according to police.<\/p>\n
That’s when gunfire erupted.<\/p>\n
Singh was shot and was rushed to the hospital where he later died.<\/p>\n
The 2-foot long machete was recovered at the scene and booked as evidence.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
Police also identified the officers involved in the incident as Central Area Police Officer IIs Michael Orozco and Nestor Espinoza Bojorquez. The shooting remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
