A Long Beach police officer shot and wounded a man as he was stabbing someone in North Long Beach Sunday night, according to the department.

Police said officers were called to the scene of the knife attack in a parking lot on Atlantic Avenue near 52nd Street around 6:50 p.m.

As the first officer arrived, “The suspect was stabbing the victim,” police said in a statement. When the attacker refused to drop the knife, the officer shot him, according to the LBPD.

Paramedics rushed the stabbing victim and the attacker to the hospital where they were in critical but stable condition, the LBPD said. Police said the victim had been stabbed multiple times.

“Detectives are investigating if the suspect and the victim knew each other and the motive for the stabbing,” police said.

It’s unclear how much of the incident was captured on video. Police said the officer who fired was wearing a body-worn camera, but it “was not activated until after the officer-involved shooting occurred.”

Police said they are “in the process of reviewing the footage and will make that available to the public as soon as possible.”

Investigators are also reviewing the circumstances to determine why the officer’s body camera was not turned on before the shooting, LBPD spokeswoman Allison Gallagher said.

Police said they recovered a knife at the scene and nobody else appears to have been hurt during the incident.
