A man has died this morning in the southern part of the capital by two shots by an agent of the National Police. The event happened after, according to sources close to the case, the man tried to kill the two agents with a knife. In fact, one of the two policemen was stabbed in the neck.

The event happened after three in the morning in the district of Villa de Vallecas, where the agents came for a warning related to violence in the family. According to these sources, and although there is still very little data available, the police responded after the call that a man was threatening two women with a knife in a house located on Sierra de Bobia street. It is not clear yet, but it is believed that these women are his mother and sister, and that he already had a history of family abuse .

The first to arrive were two agents of the National Police Corps who were in a patrol car. Upon entering the house they have verified that, indeed, a man armed with a knife was threatening the women, but in the end he has rushed on the patrol cars and wounded them with the knife .

One of them has received a cut in the neck and is now admitted to the hospital . At the moment he doesn't know the seriousness of his injuries. The luck he has had is that the aggressor has thrown him another stab, in the direction from top to bottom, and has hit the collarbone, which has stopped the path of the knife. The other police officer has received a cut in the mouth with the knife.

While the attack was taking place, one of the policemen has taken out his weapon and fired twice at the aggressor , who at least one bullet has also injured near the neck. The aggressor has died practically on the spot, as medical services have confirmed.

Shortly after the usual protocol has been activated in these cases. The judicial commission, as well as the Homicide and Scientific Police agents, are investigating at the scene.
