SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A San Bernardino, Calif., man died Sunday morning after police used a stun gun to control him as they pulled him away from an altercation, officials said.

The 19-year-old man, whose name has not yet been released, became combative during the fight at a San Bernardino board and care facility, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Paramedics responded within minutes to attend to the man, who experienced difficulty breathing. He was taken to a hospital and died about an hour later, police said.
