Sacramento police shot a man who they say advanced toward officers with a knife after a reported disturbance at a school campus.<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 A man was shot by a Sacramento police officer Tuesday evening after officers say he advanced toward<\/a> them with a knife at a school campus in north Sacramento.<\/p>\n

According to the Sacramento Police Department, officers responded just before 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday to the 3100 block of Northstead Drive after receiving a report of a disturbance involving a weapon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The caller told dispatch that a man armed with a knife was chasing another adult man at a school campus.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, they located the suspect in front of the school while he was still armed with a knife, police said.<\/p>\n

Officers gave the suspect multiple commands to drop the knife, according to police. Authorities say the man refused and continued to advance toward officers.<\/p>\n

An officer-involved shooting then occurred. Police say one officer fired their firearm, hitting the suspect at least once. A less-lethal device was also deployed during the encounter.<\/p>\n

Officers provided emergency medical aid to the suspect at the scene. The Sacramento Fire Department took him to a nearby hospital, where police say he is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

The suspect is expected to be booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail once he is medically cleared from the hospital.<\/p>\n

Police say officers recovered the knife at the scene. No officers were injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Police Department\u2019s Homicide Unit, Internal Affairs Division and Professional Standards Unit are investigating the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s Force Investigation Team will also conduct a review focused on policy, tactics and training related to the use of force.<\/p>\n

The Office of Public Safety Accountability and the Sacramento County District Attorney\u2019s Office are monitoring the investigation, according to police.<\/p>\n

Under Sacramento\u2019s police use-of-force policy and California Senate Bill 1421, authorities say all relevant video and audio from the incident will be released publicly within 30 days.<\/p>\n

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to contact the Sacramento Police Department dispatch center at 916-808-5471 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at 916-443-4357.<\/p>\n
