The family of a double amputee fatally shot by Huntington Park police officers in January has reached a settlement in a legal action taken against the city over the relatives' request for the names and personnel records of the officers involved.
Officers shot and killed Anthony Lowe on Jan. 26 after responding to a stabbing call. When Lowe was approached near the scene of the call, Lowe -- who had both of his legs amputated and used a wheelchair -- was allegedly armed with a 12-inch long butcher knife, according to the Huntington Park Police Department.
According to the parties' joint court papers, the city provided the names of the officers in June and their personnel records the next month, both of which were part of the California Public Records Act petition filed by the family on March 17. "The suspect continued to threaten officers with the butcher knife, resulting in an officer-involved shooting,'' HPPD said. It was not immediately clear how many officers were present or shot the suspect.
A blurred 23-second cell phone video, posted to Twitter, appears to show Lowe out of his wheelchair and attempting to hobble away from officers on the stumps of his legs while holding a knife. The shooting is not shown.
