A police officer in Fullerton fatally shot a man who brandished a pellet gun at law enforcement Saturday night, the department said. Officers were alerted of an armed man threatening a family member and responded to the 700 block of W.

While responding to an active shooter report in 2021, New Mexico officers shot Gilbert Valencia 20 times. His relatives argue that amounts to unreasonable force.

Police were called to the Fullerton home after the man threatened a family member with a knife, police say. The family disputes what led up to the shooting.
