San Diego police released video footage Monday of officers fatally shooting a 77-year-old man as he appeared to grab a shotgun during a confrontation with them in East County — less than an hour after police say he’d stabbed his business partner to death.

The nearly nine-minute video includes helicopter and body-worn camera footage of the Jan. 17 encounter. Police said Officers Salvador Laurel-Torres and Robert Raynor fatally shot Frank Brower in front of his home in an unincorporated area east of Granite Hills.

Police had gone to the home after identifying Brower as a suspect in the fatal stabbing of Mary Ellen Carter, 66, at Alvarado Pharmacy Services in the College Area.

Brower and Carter co-owned the pharmacy, and homicide Lt. Steve Shebloski said Monday that “financial stress” may have been a factor in the knife attack.

“I can say it appears the pharmacy has been closed for at least a month before this incident,” Shebloski said in an email Monday. “It appears the business was in the process of closing permanently.”

Just before 4 p.m. on Jan 17, police received 911 calls reporting a knife attack at the pharmacy on Reservoir Drive near Alvarado Road. One caller said someone was attacking her co-worker with a knife.

Police said officers arrived to find the door locked but they could see an injured woman inside. They broke in and found she had been stabbed multiple times in her torso.

Paramedics took Carter to a hospital, where she died.

Police identified Brower as the suspected assailant and went to his home on La Cresta Boulevard near Mountain View Road. They also asked the Sheriff’s Department for assistance.
