Fullerton police say man called 911 on himself, succeeded in 'suicide by cop'

It is believed Mr. Hills intentionally provoked a deadly police encounter, commonly referred to as 'suicide-by-cop,' the department said.

On June 15, police said they responded to a 911 call urging the department to send multiple officers to deal with a man who threatened the caller and others with knives on Imperial Highway.

Before officers arrive, the caller says, 'My phone is cutting ...' and the line goes dead.
