The scene of a police shooting at the Excel gas station at Hammer Lane near Interstate 5 in Stockton on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023
This sad little drama played out on Hammer Lane just off
of I-5 in north Stockton yesterday. At about 4:15 p.m. a man came into a
gas station there and threatened to take an employee hostage. The
employee called the cops. Then the suspect called the cops to assure
them that he did in fact have a gun.
The
cops showed up. A fair number of cops. Suspect was armed and also
appeared to be wearing body armor. The suspect asked the cops to kill
him several times and took off the body armor. Finally the suspect drew
down on person who was driving by the scene and five cops opened up on
him.
The identity of the
dead guy is not yet known. This is the first fatal police shooting in
Stockton in 11 months. Nobody else was injured in the incident.
