(KRON) -- A person in San Leandro who was allegedly unarmed was shot and killed by an Alameda County Sheriff’s Office deputy early Monday morning, according to the California Attorney General’s Office. The fatal law enforcement shooting is under investigation by the California Department of Just ice due to the involvement of an unarmed civilian, Attorney General Rob Bonta announced. The incident occurred around 3:19 a.m., the AG’s office said. According to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, a call came in from an individual saying he was in possession of a firearm, expressed intent to harm others, and asked to speak with law enforcement. The individual provided his location and deputies responded and established a perimeter in the 16000 block of Selborne Drive in San Leandro. During the encounter, ACSO said the individual exited the residence and "presented an immediate threat" to deputies. As a result, two deputies shot and killed the individual. The identity of the person who was killed was not available. No deputies were injured. The two deputies involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave. “Following notification of this incident, DOJ’s California Police Shooting Investigation Team initiated an investigation in accordance with AB 1506 mandates,” the AG’s office said. Assembly Bill 1506, which went into effect in 2021, requires all police shootings resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian to be investigated by the California Department of Justice rather than local law enforcement agencies or local district attorneys. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact DOJ investigators at 916-210-2871. This is a developing story. ...read more read less
