Deadly force

Around 2 a.m., officers responded to a report of an alarm and a person forcibly entering a nearby Walgreens by breaking the glass door. Shortly after arriving at the Walgreens, a second call was received about a suspicious person a few blocks away from the store. Officers made contact with the person who fled, police said, running in between two houses. As the person was running, police say they saw he was in possession of a handgun. Johan Alexis Salazar reportedly was ordered to disarm before lowering the weapon and pointing it at officers. Two officers shot and killed him.
