Summary

  • Sacramento County sheriff's deputies shot and killed an armed man Sunday near the intersection of Marconi Avenue and Eastern Avenue in Arden Arcade, according to the Sheriff's Office. All deputies are OK. The man was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, and authorities say more details will be released as the investigation continues.
  • Deputies responded to the 4300 block of Marconi Avenue near a car wash around 11 a.m. and found the man asleep behind a liquor store off Eastern Avenue, a handgun resting on his lap, the Sacramento Bee reported, citing sheriff's spokesperson Sgt. Edward Igoe. A woman who called 911 reportedly thought the man had fired at her and her boyfriend the night before, though deputies had not verified any connection, the newspaper reported.
  • Deputies sounded a car horn to wake the man from a distance and repeatedly warned him not to reach for the gun, according to the Bee. He had earlier set the handgun on the ground beside him, but when deputies kept giving commands he turned in their direction and reached down, Igoe said, per the newspaper. Three deputies fired, striking him, and rendered first aid before he was transported to the hospital.
  • The three deputies were put on administrative leave, a routine step after such shootings. The Sheriff's Office Homicide Bureau and Professional Standards Division are investigating, and the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office will independently review the shooting, the Sacramento Bee reported. The county Coroner's Office is expected to identify the man in the coming days.

Well even if he was mentally ill, he had a gun. Could have pulled it on anyone walking by. That’s scary.

Feel like there was a smarter way to get the gun from the sleeping person without waking him up with a car horn and asking him not to grab HIS fire arm

Remember all the stories of ppl with candy or other safe items who ALLEGEDLY had a gun. I don’t buy it without bodycam footage.

Sounds like another suicide by cop. Funny how some of the more misguided in our community want to jump to accuse the police of wrongdoing when it is only in extraordinarily rare circumstances for that to be the case.
