ANAHEIM, Calif. — A California man has been shot and killed by police after he stepped outside his home to confront suspected burglars.
Anaheim police say Julian Alexander heard an officer chasing four juveniles through his neighborhood early Tuesday and came out of his house with a broomstick to defend himself. Police say the officer ran into Alexander on his front lawn and shot him twice in the chest.
Alexander's wife and mother say the officer told them to stay inside, and from the window, they saw Alexander handcuffed and bleeding. He later died at a hospital.
Police Chief John Welter says Alexander was innocent.
The Orange County district attorney's office will investigate the shooting.
The officer's name has not been released.
I can not imagine why the cop shot this guy who was just holding a broom stick.
