The incident began around 10 a.m. when a state park officer tried to pull over a car involved in a carjacking in Tahoe City.
Parks officials say the driver exited the vehicle armed with a knife and the officer shot him.
This is the second notable incident in the area this month.
Back on Jan. 10, a man was killed and three others injured when an avalanche struck at the resort.
