Man Dies After Being Shot by Police With Taser Darts
A 38-year-old handcuffed man died Friday after Pomona police shot him several times with Taser darts, authorities said.
Police went to the Palomares Sober Living Home in the 1000 block of Lincoln Avenue about 2:30 a.m. after receiving a report that a man with a gun was at the residence, said Deputy Mark Bailey.
The man, identified as Andrew Hunt Jr., was handcuffed and taken to the police station, where he became “highly combative,” Bailey said.
“In an attempt to restrain him, officers fired several Taser darts,” he said. Hunt began having convulsions and died a short time later at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, authorities said.
