A 36-year-old man carrying a broken shovel charged at an Anaheim police officer before the officer fatally shot him outside an elementary school last month, body-worn camera footage shows.

Police first received a call around 12:10 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15, about a suspicious man standing outside a home in the 1100 block of North Columbine Street and holding a brick, Sgt. Jacob Gallacher said in a video posted on the Anaheim Police Department’s YouTube page. The caller reported the man appeared to be a transient and possibly under the influence of drugs.

About 30 minutes later, an officer arrived at the address. Around the same time, dispatch received a second call from an employee at John Marshall Elementary School reporting that the same man was now near campus with a broken shovel.
