In South San Francisco, police fatally shot a man who pointed a replica firearm at them. Officers were responding to reports of a man yelling and attempting to force entry into a restroom when he fled with the imitation gun. Attempts to use less-lethal measures were unsuccessful, and the man's aggressive actions prompted officers to use their firearms. The incident led to an investigation by the California Department of Justice, while the involved officers are on administrative leave. This shooting follows another recent fatal encounter involving police and a man armed with a firearm.
The situation escalated rapidly as the man refused to comply, wielding a replica firearm aimed at officers, leading to the use of lethal force.
In response to the imminent threat posed by the suspect with the replica gun, three officers discharged their weapons, resulting in the man's death.
