A 25-year-old man hoping to provoke law enforcement into shooting him during a suicidal moment was taken into custody Sunday morning after Turlock Police officers were able to defuse the situation with the use of non-lethal tactics. The incident began around 8:45 a.m. Sunday when the police department received a report of a disturbance in the 1500 block of Stallion Court. The caller stated the man creating the disturbance was wielding two kitchen knives, said Turlock Police spokesperson Officer Steve Rodrigues.
