"The Santa Clara Police Department received a 911 call reporting a "disturbance between two roommates" out of four people living at the 1800 block of Eisenhower Drive just after 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Santa Clara Police Chief Cory Morgan said in a press conference Friday. On the way to the address, officers were told that the situation had become a stabbing. Officer Robert Allsup arrived and identified himself, then kicked down the door after hearing "a loud commotion inside," according to Morgan."
"When Allsup kicked down the door, Morgan said, sharing still images from the bodycam footage, one roommate had a knife in their raised hand and had the other pinned down, ready to strike."
""The first knife broke away at the handle," Morgan detailed. "The suspect then retrieved a second knife to continue the assault.""
A Santa Clara residence disturbance involving four people escalated into a stabbing just after 6 a.m. Officers were told the situation had become a stabbing before arrival. Officer Robert Allsup identified himself and kicked down the door after hearing loud commotion. One roommate held a knife with a raised hand and had another pinned down; verbal commands were ignored. Allsup fired four times, and the wounded suspect later died at a hospital. The stabbed victim survived after treatment for wounds to hands, chest, lung and abdomen from two knives. Police previously responded to a dispute between the same two men in August.
