Two people were hospitalized, including a sheriff’s deputy, following a report of terrorist threats at a Victorville gym Thursday morning, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.
Deputies were called about 11:20 a.m. to the 14600 block of Valley Center Drive. When they arrived, they said a man was leaving the business.
The sheriff’s department said a “lethal force encounter” took place and later specified a sheriff's deputy shot the man who was accused of making terrorist threats. At least one deputy was hospitalized after they suffered an injury from a knife. The department did not specify how the official sustained that wound.
The man who deputies shot was also taken to the hospital, the sheriff’s department said. His condition, as well as that of the deputy, was not immediately clear.
