Man Who Threatened Mass Shooting Killed by Police at Burbank Home Depot

  • A man called 911 and told dispatchers he planned to start "shooting people" at a Home Depot in Burbank, California.
  • When police arrived, the man behaved aggressively, prompting officers to open fire in self-defense.
  • The man was transported to a nearby hospital but did not survive.
  • Investigators are working to determine whether the man was actually armed at the time of the shooting.
  • The incident is the latest in a string of recent shootings across the U.S., though police say there is no indication Saturday's events were linked to terrorism.
