A man barricades himself inside his apartment. Police surround the building. Then smoke starts pouring out of the windows. But the situation is about to become even more dangerous. On June 23, 2026, San Diego Police Department officers responded to an emergency at an apartment complex in the Cortez Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. A woman had reported being assaulted and threatened by her 32-year-old son, Josue White, who was reportedly armed with a knife and a baseball bat. When officers arrived, White had barricaded himself inside a fourth-floor apartment. Police repeatedly attempted to communicate with him, but he refused to come outside. Then the situation took an unexpected turn. During the standoff, White began throwing household objects from his apartment window, damaging police vehicles and injuring an officer. Shortly afterward, officers noticed thick smoke pouring from the apartment. The suspect had reportedly set his kitchen on fire. As firefighters rushed to control the flames, police evacuated the apartment complex to protect nearby residents. But White remained barricaded inside. After officers entered the smoke-filled apartment, they discovered that White was hiding behind a closed door. When officers breached the door, White allegedly rushed toward them with a large knife. Three officers opened fire, striking him. Officers immediately provided medical assistance before transporting him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
