Yup.

The police claim that they were responding to reports that someone had been stabbed.

The officers arrived in the area of Hollywood and Highland when they observed a man in the intersection. The male was armed with a knife. When he saw the officers, he approached them, and an officer-involved shooting occurred

No one was found stabbed. But yet another person is dead at hands of law enforcement.

No attempt to disarm using less lethal means.
