San Diego Police have identified the woman who was fatally stabbed by a man who police say was later killed by officers after brandishing what appeared to be a shotgun.
The woman was identified as Mary Ellen Carter, 66, of Lakeside. Police said it's still early in the investigation to know what led to Carter's death, other than it appears the suspect and victim were co-workers or employees of the business where the incident occurred. It is also still unknown why the suspect attacked Carter, SDPD Lt. Adam Sharki said.
San Diego police officers were first called around 4 p.m. Tuesday to a “fight” at a pharmacy at 5555 Reservoir Drive, next to Alvarado Hospital in the College Area. When officers arrived, they found a 66-year-old pharmacist locked inside with multiple stab wounds, said the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the case due to a policy that prevents law enforcement from conducting their own officer shooting investigation.
SDPD found the suspect, a 77-year-old pharmacist, near a vehicle in the backyard of the home. That encounter ended with the officers opening fire on the man.
