A man armed with a knife was fatally shot by police officers investigating a family disturbance call at a Santa Ana home Friday, officials said.

Two Santa Ana police officers responded to a report of a family fight about 3:45 a.m. in the 2400 block of Olive Street, said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, a department spokesman.

When officers arrived, they were confronted by a man armed with a knife, and a shooting occurred, Bertagna said. Details about what led to the shooting were not released.

The man was taken to a hospital where he later died, Bertagna said.


He was not identified.

Investigators were scouring the neighborhood for witnesses and surveillance video footage, he said. A knife was found at the scene, police said.

The Orange County district attorney’s office is investigating the shooting, and the Police Department is conducting an internal investigation.
