sonoma county sheriffs are describing a bizarre series of events that led to officers shooting a man who they say was under the influence of lsd. officers say the man punched, stabbed and choked those around him during a fourth of july outing in bodega bay. the man shot by deputies is a 32-year old man from san francisco. his name is betai koffi. he and five friends had rented a house in bodega bay for the july 4th weekend. koffi's friends told investigators he consumed two hits of lsd, became delusional and did two more hits. that's when things got out of control. his friends said he tried to leave the house around 8:00, punched a woman at the house, stabbed a man with a pencil and choked another man. he got out of the house into his rental car and backed into a parked car before crashing into the garage of the rented house. next, he ran down the street until a security guard stopped him. investigators say he picked up a landscaping stake and stabbed
