The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said the fatal shooting of a suspect Monday occurred after the person allegedly posed an immediate threat.
At about 3:19 a.m. Monday, a call came into emergency dispatch from a person saying they had a firearm and an “intent to harm others”, the sheriff’s office said. The caller allegedly said they needed to speak with law enforcement.
Deputies responded to the person’s location in San Leandro and surrounded their residence in the 16000 block of Selborne Drive.
According to the sheriff’s office, the person exited the residence and “presented an immediate threat to the deputies”. The sheriff’s office did not elaborate on what threat they allege was posed.
As a result, two deputies discharged their firearms and the person was fatally shot. No deputies were injured during the incident.
The shooting is being investigated by the California Department of Justice.
State Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office put out a news release at about noon Monday saying the investigation is happening under the authority provided by Assembly Bill 1506, which requires the DOJ “to investigate all incidents of an officer-involved shooting resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian in the state”.
The involved deputies were placed on paid administrative leave, according to the sheriff’s office, and their names and the identity of the suspect have not been released.
