From Fremont, California;
A man killed by Fremont police Thursday night during an exchange of gunshots near a gas station had fled from an officer who tried to stop him for a probation violation earlier this week, a police spokeswoman said.
Undercover and uniformed officers shot at the man after he pointed a gun at them near the ARCO station at the intersection of Fremont Boulevard and Nicolet Avenue, according to police. Authorities have not yet identified the man.
Undercover officers spotted him around 6:47 p.m. as a passenger in a vehicle on Fremont Boulevard near Central Avenue, Fremont police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques said. Several marked patrol cars were then called to the area.
The car stopped at the intersection, and police said when the man ran away they chased him. Police reported the man pointed a gun at one of the uniformed officers, so they fired at him, Bosques said. She said seven officers — three undercover and four patrol — fired their weapons.
One less drain on the taxpayers, perhaps?
Suicide by cop, intentional or not.

AMF.
IF, and I say IF the perp was a border crosser and is now deceased, the Officers may be in trouble for violating his civil rights. I just read the above account and saw that it was a parole violation so maybe he is not a border crosser.

Or maybe he was, and was released by Moonbeam’s regime, after a brief stint in one of their greybar hotels, because Commiefornia can’t be seen cooperating with ICE.
Seven shooters to one; that is piss poor odds for surviving a gunfight.
Josie Wales took on, what, five or six guys at close range on the street that time; but come to think of it he had back up.
“That one guy, his holster was tied down.… The guy in the middle, he had scared eyes. That guy on the end; he had crazy eyes.”
“But what about [the other one]?”
“I knew you had him.”
(It seems like in the days before infomercials, “The Outlaw Josie Wales” got a lot of air time.)
