Oakland Police Shoot, Kill Suspect Wielding Fake Gun
OAKLAND (CBS/BCN) -- An man wielding what police called a replica assault weapon was shot and killed by officers Saturday morning in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.
The Oakland Police Department received a call about 9:35 a.m. that a man was armed in the 5500 block of Taft Avenue, spokeswoman Holly Joshi said.
When officers arrived they found a man dressed in camouflage and carrying the replica. When the suspect confronted the officers, the police opened fire and killed him.
This was the second fatal officer-involved shooting in Oakland this week.
