"A South San Francisco man who was shot seven times by police in December and survived is facing multiple criminal charges for allegedly brandishing a knife at officers after they went to his home for a mental health crisis call, prosecutors said. Luis Adrian Francisco Manzo has been charged with one count of assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon and four counts of resisting an officer with enhancements for use of a deadly weapon, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office."
"He was shot on the morning of Dec. 8, after several officers from the South San Francisco Police Department responded to a call from Francisco Manzo's relative, who said that he was threatening to harm himself and was armed with two knives. Authorities encountered Francisco Manzo in the hallway of the family's home and claimed that he, after initially following officers' instructions, pulled out a knife and walked toward the officers, asking "them to kill him.""
Luis Adrian Francisco Manzo, 28, was shot seven times by South San Francisco police on Dec. 8 after officers responded to a relative's report that he threatened self-harm and was armed with two knives. Officers encountered him in a hallway; after initially following instructions he allegedly pulled out a knife and walked toward officers, asking "them to kill him." One officer fired a stun gun and two officers then fired their guns as he advanced. He was taken to a trauma center in critical condition. Manzo faces assault on a peace officer and resisting charges with deadly-weapon enhancements and was denied bail. The San Mateo County District Attorney's Office is investigating whether the officers' use of force was justified.
