Escondido police shot and critically injured a man who was acting erratically in a busy intersection Wednesday afternoon.
The shooting occurred at the intersection of Centre City Parkway and 13th Avenue at around 12:30 p.m., according to OnScene.TV.
Upon arrival, officers located a male suspect said to be armed with a knife and issued multiple verbal commands. When they were ignored, officers deployed less-lethal rounds, including rubber bullets, but the suspect continued to advance.
Moments later, officers fired their service weapons, but the suspect stood back up and charged at an officer, prompting a second round of shots.
The suspect was transported to a trauma center. Video from Sky10 showed the intersection cordoned off and several police vehicles, with what appears to be bloodied clothing lying in the street.
Escondido police told reporters at the scene that no officers were injured.

A police pursuit ended in Oceanside Saturday with a shooting involving law enforcement that shut down Interstate 5 for hours, authorities said.
The shooting left the suspect with “major injuries,” according to the California Highway Patrol, which said a firearm was recovered at the scene.
Officers with the Buena Park Police Department attempted to pull over a gray 2005 Cadillac CTS for a traffic violation at about 12:45 a.m. Saturday, near the intersection of La Palma Avenue and San Marino Drive, authorities said.
The driver took off, leading officers on a pursuit through Orange County, Long Beach and back into Orange County on southbound I-5, Buena Park Sgt. Martin Tomsick said.
Officers turned the pursuit over to the California Highway Patrol at 1:05 a.m., but kept their K-9 Unit involved in the chase at the request of the CHP, according to Tomsick.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office dispatched aerial drones at 2:15 a.m. to assist with finding the suspect, according to SDSO Lt. Sean Gallagher.
Tomsick said the pursuit ended in gunfire on southbound I-5 in the Camp Pendleton area and that a Buena Park K-9 officer and at least one CHP officer fired their weapons at a suspect. It appeared no officers were injured, he said.
In a late evening news release, the CHP added details about the shooting, saying that the Cadillac driver, armed with a handgun, exited the vehicle and fled on foot just prior to the shooting.
For several hours the suspect remained in a “large brush area” in the median between the northbound and southbound lanes of the freeway north of Harbor Drive, the CHP said. Despite commands from CHP and Buena Park officers, the suspect refused to surrender and remained uncooperative until 7:40 a.m., when they were able to take the person into custody.
The CHP offered no further information on the driver’s condition or identifying characteristics such as gender or age.
During their investigation, officers recovered an unserialized firearm, known as a “ghost gun,” in the area where the suspect was taken into custody, the CHP said. The agency’s Border Division Major Crimes Unit is investigating the cause and sequence of events during the pursuit and shooting.
I-5 was temporarily closed in both directions, and a Sigalert was issued shortly after 2:30 a.m. between Harbor Drive in Oceanside and Christianitos Road in San Clemente, according to the CHP.
CHP Officer Hunter Gerber said northbound I-5 through Camp Pendleton was partially open for lanes 2-4 as of 9:30 a.m., while the No. 1 lane remained closed. Lanes 2-4 reopened shortly before 2 p.m., and all northbound and southbound lanes on were opened by mid-afternoon.
Traffic on southbound I-5 from San Clemente had been being diverted to the right shoulder south of Christianitos, according to Gerber.

Authorities on Friday released video footage of the fatal shooting by a sheriff’s deputy of an Alpine man nearly three weeks ago.
Robert Edmund Liddell, 72, allegedly approached him and his partner with a replica pistol in hand as the deputies checked in on him at the request of a neighbor.
Deputy Jordi Herrera opened fire on Liddell in a hallway at the man’s home in the 1700 block of Kyrsten Terrace on Nov. 5, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrived about an hour after a 6:30 p.m. 911 call in which the neighbor reported that she was concerned about a man she had been unable to contact.
Speaking to a dispatcher, she said she was outside Liddell’s home, where she found the front door open but got no response from anyone inside.
“When I knocked, then I noticed (the door) started – you know, it didn’t open completely, but it pushed forward, and if I had knocked again, it would have opened the door,” the caller said in a recording that was part of footage posted on YouTube by the Sheriff’s office. The woman added that she called out, but received no answer.
Herrera and Deputy Christopher Kleppe, can be seen upon arrival, inspecting the scene outside briefly, before deciding to enter through the unlocked front door.
Repeatedly identifying themselves as sheriff’s deputies, they walked through the dark home with their flashlights on and their body-worn cameras activated. About 30 seconds after they entered, Liddell emerged from a room with the imitation pistol in his hand and said, “Get the (expletive) out.”
As Kleppe took refuge in a room and the resident moved past that doorway, the deputies shouted at him to drop it. Moments later Herrera fired four rounds at Liddell and he collapsed against a wall. They ordered him again to drop the gun, and he yelled, “I dropped it.”
Herrera and Kleppe provided emergency aid prior to the arrival of paramedics who took Liddell to a hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
Herrera has been with the Sheriff’s Office for three years, and Kleppe for six. Per the agency’s policies, they were placed on desk duty while the shooting is investigated by California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office under terms of a 2020 state law.
Assembly Bill 1506 requires the state Department of Justice to investigate law enforcement shootings resulting in the deaths of unarmed people.
Under the statute, “armed” means being in possession of a deadly weapon, according to the DOJ. Replica firearms do not fall into that category unless they are used in a manner likely to produce death or great bodily injury, for example, to bludgeon.

Authorities on Friday released video of a man who was shot to death by San Diego police after allegedly bringing weapons onto the grounds of a City Heights school.
Around 6:45 a.m. Sept. 23, officers received a 911 call from a school official about a trespasser, later identified as Huy Ly, 41, sitting near the auditorium of Fay Elementary School, 4080 52nd St., according to the San Diego Police Department.
During that call, played at the start of the footage released by the department, the dispatcher asked if the man was armed and the official told her that he could see a handgun beside him. He also told the dispatcher that the man “looks like he didn’t understand me,” when he tried to speak with him.
A short time later, officers located Ly, with what appeared to be a handgun next to him and a knife in his hand. They repeatedly ordered Ly to surrender and drop his weapons – one officer warned, “drop what’s in your hands or you are going to be shot.”
In the video, the officer can be heard issuing the order in English and calling for it to be translated into Vietnamese.
Police said they performed “de-escalation” efforts to contact Ly, but those efforts were not successful, nor were attempts to subdue Ly with bean-bag rounds or the use of a K-9 unit. At least 10 officers advanced on Ly at that point, one yelling, “let me see your hands!”
Ly then can be seen running a nearby alley with a couple of the officers in close pursuit. In the video the department isolates a still in which it appears he is holding a handgun in his left hand. When Ly exits onto Orange Avenue from the alley, he seems to turn to face the officers from the left side. Two officers then fire multiple shots at him from several feet away.
Investigators later determined the object in Ly’s hand was a replica, not a real firearm. A knife, police said, was found in the alley where they first spoke to Ly.
The California Department of Justice issued a statement in September which said that its shooting investigation team had been assigned and that the case would be turned over to its special prosecution section for review.
A 2020 law requires the California Department of Justice to investigate officer-involved gunfire resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian in the state.
It was not clear why the shooting in San Diego falls under the provisions of the legislation, since SDPD had reported that the suspect was armed.
WELD COUNTY, Colo. — The 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) was activated Friday after Greeley police officers shot and killed a suspect in Weld County.
