UPDATE: Fremont Police Fatally Shoot Suspect In Attempted Murder Case
FREMONT (CBS SF) – Police in Fremont said an attempted murder suspect who was armed was shot and killed by an officer Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators said they responded to the Southlake Mobile Home Park on the 43800 block of Fremont Blvd after receiving a 911 call at 5:19 p.m. that a man had been shot in the head.
About 45 minutes later, police officers said they spotted a man matching the description of the suspect. He was shot and killed just outside the mobile home park.
Late Wednesday night, Fremont police held a news conference but would not explain what led the officer to shoot and kill the suspect.
"That part is still under investigation," said acting Capt. Eric Tang. "We haven't had a chance to interview the officer or review any relevant camera footage at this point, so it's still under investigation."
Police said the shooting victim, who has life threatening injuries, had been transported to a local trauma center.
Investigators were reviewing body cam footage, interviewing officers and collecting evidence, and that another update was expected in 72 hours.
