Newly released body camera footage captured a dramactic confrontation when a man was fatally shot by San Diego police after he directed flames from an icendiary device at officers last month, injuring a three officers and a K-9.

The incdent happened just after 9 a.m. Sept. 16 when police responded to a call concerning a person allegedly vandalizing vehicles with a metal rod at an intersection, the depearmtnent stated in a new release. When officers reached the scene, the suspect, later identified as Saul Sandoval Chavez, fled on foot to a business.

Police saw that Chavez had an incendiary device, and because of "the significant dangers posed," officers tried to de-escalate the situation. The suspect refused to surrender, and a K-9 was deployed. That's when Chavez ignited the incendiary device and pointed it at police as he moved toward the door.

One officer opened fire, and Chavez was struck. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Three officers suffered burns to their hands during the incident, and they were treated at the hospital and released. A K‑9 also suffered burns and was treated at a veterinary hospital.

The incident is under investigation.
