Officials defend shooting of knife wielding man near White House
Federal officials say officers acted justified after a knife wielding homeless man, Marcelino Corniel, charged four Park Police and Secret Service officers outside the White House. Corniel was shot twice, underwent multiple surgeries, and faced assault charges. Authorities note he had a taped knife and did not drop it despite orders. Relatives reported him missing from Anaheim since August, with California links and prior armed robbery conviction noted.
