Anaheim police officers fatally shot a 30-year-old man who had what turned out to be a replica firearm on Friday evening.
Police responded at 8 p.m. to the 200 block of East South Street after receiving calls regarding a possible robbery. When they arrived, they encountered the man, and an officer-involved shooting occurred, said Sgt. Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the police to shoot.
The suspect was struck by gunfire. Paramedics transported the man to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said a realistic-looking replica firearm was recovered at the scene.
The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s office will release the man’s identity once it is confirmed, authorities said.
Four officers were involved in the shooting and none were injured, Sutter said.
Due to the type of weapon recovered at the scene, the California Department of Justice will investigate the circumstances of the police shooting.
Anaheim PD homicide detectives, the Anaheim PD Major Incident Review Team,, Anaheim PD Internal Affairs and personnel from the Anaheim Police Review Board and Office of Independent Review will also review it.
