Reported unevenly

• Whether the man exited the home with a firearm only or both a knife and firearmstated by 10news.com (firearm only), kogo.iheart.com (firearm only), cbs8.com (knife mentioned in headline), nbcsandiego.com (knife mentioned in body) · absent from cbs8.com and nbcsandiego.com both mention a knife but their body text is not retrievable, so the relationship between knife and firearm cannot be fully assessed
• The specific trigger for the police responsestated by 10news.com (describes initial call as 'check welfare'), nbcsandiego.com (describes initial report as 'person with a knife in a backyard'), kogo.iheart.com (describes call as response to burglary in progress)

Not yet confirmed against a primary source

• Confirm whether the man held a knife, a firearm, or both when he exited the home. The 10news.com and kogo.iheart.com articles (with full or substantial body text) describe only a firearm. The cbs8.com headline names a knife, and nbcsandiego.com's truncated body mentions 'a person with a knife in a backyard' as the initial report. Were both weapons present, or do outlets disagree on which weapon prompted the fatal shooting?
• Confirm the duration and nature of the standoff. Fox5sandiego.com's headline references 'hours-long SWAT standoff,' but 10news.com's available text does not specify duration, only that the man exited around 9 p.m. after gunshots were heard inside the home during the incident. How long was the actual standoff?
