Police officers in California fatally shot a 20-year-old man in a Taco Bell drive-thru on Saturday after they said he reached for a gun.
Willie McCoy, a rapper known as "Willie Bo," was shot by officers from the Vallejo Police Department after responding to a 911 call from a Taco Bell employee regarding a man "slumped over in the driver's seat" in the drive-thru, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
The officers said they approached the "unresponsive" McCoy in his locked silver Mercedes and saw a handgun in his lap.
McCoy began to stir, the report said, and the officers said they told him to keep his hands where they could see them.
Police said the six officers fired "multiple rounds" at McCoy after he "quickly reached" for a .40-caliber semiautomatic gun with an extended magazine.
The statement went on: "Fearing for their safety, six officers fired their duty weapons at the driver. All shots were fired in approximately four seconds."
Police called medical support but he died at the scene.
