Police say witnesses tried to pull Menjivar away, and two off-duty officers working at the club eventually disarmed him. The officers and one of the witnesses were stabbed.

A police spokesman says Menjivar will be charged with murder, aggravated assault of a public servant and aggravated assault. The officers were treated at an area hospital and released. The witness was treated at the scene.

Menjivar did not have an attorney listed.
