Authorities fatally shot a man in Anaheim on Friday while trying to arrest him in connection with a murder in another state, police said.
At approximately 1:30 p.m., Anaheim police officers responded to the 1400 block of North State College Boulevard to assist a U.S. Marshals Service task force in confronting the suspect, according to a statement from the Anaheim Police Department.
“Task force personnel and Anaheim police made contact with the suspect and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the statement continued. “An Anaheim police officer and other task force members fired their weapons.”
Officers gave the man first aid before taking him to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to authorities. Police did not identify the man Friday night, saying they had not yet notified his next of kin.
No officers were injured, but a bystander was hit by a bullet. Police said that person was treated at a hospital for a minor injury and released a short time later.
According to Anaheim police, a firearm was found at the scene and there are no outstanding suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office will also investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
