ONTARIO, Calif. — Police in Ontario have shot and killed a local man they say lunged at them with a knife in the parking lot of a convenience store.

The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (http://bit.ly/GEkLG8 ) says the 42-year-old man died at the scene Monday night. His name hasn't been released.

Police say the confrontation began when someone flagged down a patrol officer at around 11:30 p.m. to report seeing a man with a knife.

Four officers spotted the man in the parking lot of an AM/PM market and ordered him to drop the knife. Police say instead, he lunged at the officers and was shot.
