VALLEJO, Calif. —
Vallejo police officers shot two men sitting in a car early Sunday morning, killing one of them, after a gun was reportedly spotted inside the vehicle, according to a Vallejo police seargent.
Around 4 a.m., two officers on patrol approached the two men, who were seen sitting in a car near the intersection of Pepper and B.W. Williams drives for reasons that weren’t made immediately available.
As two officers approached, one of the officers reportedly noticed a gun inside the vehicle, according to the seargent, who asked not to be identified.
The officers told the men to put their hands up inside the vehicle and witnesses say the men complied.
As they approached the car, the officers felt threatened and fired upon the men dozens of times.
Though Vallejo police confirmed that the two men did not shoot at the officers, it was unclear why the officers felt the need to open fire.
Video footage shows at least 33 shell-casing markers at the scene later Sunday.
