Authorities shot and killed a man in Anaheim on Friday while trying to arrest someone in connection with a murder in another state, police said.
According to a statement from the Anaheim Police Department, Anaheim police officers responded to the 1400 block of North State College Avenue around 1:30 p.m. to assist a U.S. Marshals task force in a confrontation with the suspect.
“Task force personnel and Anaheim police contacted the suspect and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the statement continued. “An Anaheim police officer and other members of the task force opened fire. “
The man was given first aid and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. Police did not identify the man Friday night, saying they had not yet notified his next of kin.
No police officers were injured, but a bystander was hit by a bullet. The man was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released a short time later, police said.
A gun was found at the scene and there are no suspects at this time, according to Anaheim police. The investigation is ongoing.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office will also investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
