VALLEJO (CBS SF) -- Police shot a man who was allegedly armed with a knife at a shopping center in Vallejo Saturday evening, according to a police official.

Officers responded to a report of a man with a knife at 5:49 p.m. in the 900 block of Admiral Callaghan Lane, Lt. John Whitney said.

During the officers' response to the call, Whitney said officers shot the man and he was taken to a hospital.

Fire officials said they responded roughly 10 minutes later and that the shooting took place at 904 Admiral Callaghan Lane, which is the location of a Target store, according to the store's website.
