* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Lancaster, California — On Saturday, June 20, 2026, at approximately 2:05 p.m., Los Angeles County deputies from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station responded to a call for service on the 44000 block of Sierra Highway, Lancaster, regarding an armed male individual assaulting bystanders with multiple knives. The male was later identified as 23-year-old Robert Castro. Shortly after deputies arrived on scene, Castro rushed toward a deputy and began to stab the deputy with a knife, at which point a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Castro was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. Moments later, a second deputy-involved shooting occurred. Deputies rendered medical aid to Castro until the arrival of Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel. Castro was subsequently transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. One of the deputies was transported to a local hospital and was admitted for treatment for a stab wound. No other deputies or persons were injured during this incident. A knife with an approximate six-inch blade, believed to have been used to stab the wounded deputy, was recovered at the scene along with other knives. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - 'Zixuno' - 'HauntSync.com' - 'Rate A Creator with Omar Alkahlout' - 'Forever A Loner' -…
