A knife-wielding man who had just stabbed a woman was fatally shot by Pasadena police Sunday morning, authorities said.
Several patrol cars answering 911 calls about the stabbing at Summit Avenue and Painter Street arrived on the scene at 8:11 a.m. to find the man standing over the victim, police Cmdr. Eric Mills said. When officers ordered the assailant to step away, he charged them with the knife and an officer shot him in self-defense, Mills said.
