Cell phone video shows a man named Scott getting shot by an Off-Duty officer outside a Costco on Pelandale Avenue.
Scott armed himself with a knife from the store according to Costco employees..
Scott was wandering around the clothing area with the knife, then proceeded to the cash registers, where he “jabbed it” toward employees he later continued outside, where he was approached by a police officer.
Officer of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, drew a firearm and ordered him multiple times to drop the knife.
Gary Harlan Scott, 61, was suicidal and had spent most of July in the hospital, said sister Suzanne Perez.
Perez went to pick up her brother when he was discharged from DBHC about 3 p.m. Thursday, but he refused to go with her. She said Scott told her he wanted to kill himself, so she called police, but he got on a bus and left the area before they arrived.
Two hours later, Perez got a call from police, who said her brother had been shot.
