A man who police allege was threatening people with a gun in East Oakland was shot and killed by officers on Monday, the Oakland Police Department said.<\/p>\n
Officers were sent to the 1800 block of 89th Avenue after receiving several 911 calls reporting a man pointing a gun at people in the 2000 block of Auseon Avenue.<\/p>\n
According to the department, officers found the allegedly armed man in the 1900 block of Auseon Avenue and said that the man pointed his gun at them. The suspect moved into a yard in the 1800 block of 89th Avenue, where police allege he again pointed his gun at them.<\/p>\n
Just before 4 p.m., officers then opened fire at him, the department said. The man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The involved officers will be placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, the department said. Police did not release the names of the officers nor of the suspect.<\/p>\n
