Police shot and killed a man Monday morning when he confronted two officers in an alleyway, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 9:30 a.m. as the officers were on routine patrol in the 800 block of South Citron Street, said Anaheim Police Sgt. Tim Schmidt. They spotted a man in a white car. The unidentified man got out of the car and the shooting occurred, Schmidt said. Both officers fired, he said.
Schmidt did not release details on what led to the shooting or the names of the officers.
They will be interviewed by the Orange County district attorney’s office, which investigates all officer-related shootings. Anaheim detectives are also looking for witnesses.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Anaheim Police Department at (714) 765-1944.
