A 19-year-old man died late Saturday after a shooting during a police stop in Anaheim, officials said.<\/p>\n
Police said the shooting took place after two officers who were on patrol approached a group of more than a dozen people at 9:32 p.m. in the 800 block of South Philadelphia Street in Anaheim.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement officials said there was a confrontation followed by an exchange of gunfire, leading to an officer shooting a 19-year-old, who died. It was unclear if police or members of the group shot first.<\/p>\n
“In the aftermath of the shooting, an unruly crowd started to form, requiring additional resources to be deployed for the safety of the officers and the integrity of the investigation,” said a statement from Anaheim police. “One subject was struck with a non-lethal round and transported to the hospital in stable condition.”<\/p>\n
Police said they recovered a firearm from the scene and that officers had “minor injuries.”<\/p>\n
Because an officer fired a weapon, police said the ongoing investigation includes the Orange County district attorney\u2019s office as well as Anaheim police homicide detectives, the department’s major incident review team and internal affairs.<\/p>\n
