One man was shot to death and another person was hit with a non-lethal round in a shooting involving police officers in Anaheim, authorities said Sunday.
Two officers from the Anaheim Police Department’s Gang Enforcement Unit were on patrol when they contacted several people in front of a residence in the 800 block of South Philadelphia Street at 9:32 p.m. Saturday, Sgt. Matt Sutter said.
The location is a few blocks east of Anaheim Boulevard, near the Anaheim Packing District.
A shooting involving the officers occurred, with one of the two officers firing at least one round, Sutter said. One person was pronounced dead at the scene.
The confrontation and shooting triggered an unruly crowd, and at least a dozen people were detained. One person was struck by a non-lethal round during the confrontation and taken to a hospital as a precaution, police added.
No further information was immediately available.
