Bakersfield police are investigating an officer involved shooting at the Bakersfield Amtrak station that has killed a man.

Sergeant Gary Carruesco says they believe that man brandished a knife and threatened bus drivers before a plainclothes deputy took him down after 9:30 Monday morning. Cell phone video now being circulated on YouTube shows much of that confrontation.

Police are trying to find out who the man was but multiple witnesses who spoke to KUZZ News believe he is a homeless man in his 50s.
