California cops fatally shot a double amputee on Thursday as he tried to evade arrest by getting out of his wheelchair and hopping away, according to reports.
Officers fired roughly 10 rounds at Anthony Lowe Jr., a 36-year-old father of two whose family said he lost his legs in another encounter with police in Texas.
The Huntington Park Police Department said officers were called to the scene after Lowe stabbed someone without provocation.
After leaping out of his wheelchair, Lowe hopped down the street away from police, who initially tried to tase him.
Another police car arrived as Lowe — who was carrying a butcher’s knife — continued to flee.
