How they died

Deadly force

The Sheriff's Department received a 911 call, but the caller hung up. Dispatchers call the person back and spoke to a woman who said her son had been at her house threatening to kill her, and she believed he had a gun. The son left the house, but while the woman was on the phone with the Sheriff's Department, he returned, threatened her and repeated that he had a gun. A sheriff's deputy and an officer from the Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Parks District arrived, and as they came down Fair Oaks Boulevard, the suspect came out into the street in front of the officers and leveled a handgun at them. The officers shot and killed him.
