Naked, Knife-Wielding Suspect Plows Into Palmdale Carl’s Jr. Before Being Shot Dead By McDonald’s Guard
PALMDALE (CBSLA) — A naked 29-year-old man brandishing a knife was shot and killed by a security guard after a bizarre series of events Sunday afternoon in which he reportedly plowed his car into a Palmdale fast food restaurant, and then stabbed an elderly man at an adjoining eatery.
The incident played out at around 4:30 p.m. in the area of 25th Street and East Avenue S.
It began when the suspect, described initially as a shirtless Latino man, crashed his car into into the wall of a Carl’s Jr. restaurant, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. He then got out and ran across the street to a nearby McDonald’s, during which time he undressed completely.
Deputies said the man, now naked, entered the McDonald’s and stabbed an 88-year-old man who was eating with his grandson.
As the suspect was coming out of the McDonald’s, he was confronted by an armed security guard, the sheriff’s department said. When he tried to assault the guard, the guard shot him at least once, hitting him in the upper torso, deputies said.
