SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police say a man who crashed a car at the Chinese Consulate earlier this month was armed with a crossbow and arrows and swung a knife at officers before a police sergeant killed him. San Francisco Police Acting Commander Mark Im says an officer opened fire after Zhanyuan Yang failed to comply with orders to get on the ground and swung his knife toward the officer and a security guard. A bystander calling 911 said Yang had a gun, but police did not find a gun on him. Police have not released a motive for the attack.
