As officers responded to the area, multiple callers contacted the California Highway Patrol and reported a man walking on U.S. Route 101. That video shows the man with the edged weapon. Another caller reported seeing a man walking in the middle of the freeway, crossing traffic in the same area reported by the first caller. The second caller reported that the man was wearing black pants, a black hoodie, and a mask. As he continued advancing on the officer with the raised edged weapon, the other SFPD officer fired a single shot, striking the man in the upper body.
