LAKE JACKSON, Texas. Jackson Lake police have shot and killed a man near Liverpool after they say he stabbed them after a chase and crash.

It all started around 10 a.m. Thursday when the LJPD got a call about a man in a trash can at OM Robert Elementary School. Before the police arrived, they said that the guy stole a truck and fled.

Police said that during a chase in Brazoria County, a man rammed a truck into two cars, including a patrol car, and also tried to run over a police officer.

DPS fighters dropped spikes near CR 192 and CR 193. Having run into them, the man lost control and fell into a ditch.

When the police approached the truck, they said the man had jumped out of it and lunged at them with a “big knife blade”. They shot at him and killed him.
