LA county cop mag dumps home invader mid stabbing

This bodycam footage comes from Lynwood, in California's Los Angeles County. Here we see county deputies responding to what was reported as a burglary in progress, only to find a dynamically evolving situation involving a hostage and a suspect attempting to stab her. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect, later identified as Federico Rodriguez, 45 years of age, was spotted inside the home of the victim, while the victim was still inside. He appeared to be holding a pair of scissors in a weapon-like manner. When ordered to drop them, Rodriguez fled to another part of the building. Rodriguez' armed presence in the home along with the victim constituted a rapidly-evolving hostage situation. The LA County deputies began to implement a plan to rescue the victim. However, as they made entry, he was heard stabbing her. They found Rodriguez in the hallway, stabbing the victim with a knife whilst in a kneeling position (01:38). The responding officer emptied a full magazine of 13 rounds into Rodriguez before helping to extract the victim. Aid was provided on-scene to both the suspect and the victim. Although both were transported to area hospitals, Rodriguez was reported deceased sometime after transport. The knife used in the stabbing was recovered, and no other persons were injured.
