A man died after being pulled off a fence around an elementary school while carrying a sledgehammer, California police reported.
The man, whose identity was not released, climbed a fence around a parking lot at McKinley Elementary School at 2:27 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, Long Beach police said in a news release.
When he tried to climb a second fence into the school, some men in the parking lot pulled him down and detained him, police said.
“At some point, he became unresponsive,” police said. Officers arriving at the school handcuffed the man, then discovered he was not responsive and called paramedics, but he died at the scene, police said.
