SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (KGO) -- A man was shot and killed inside a Walmart store after threatening police officers with a baseball bat in San Leandro Saturday afternoon.
The incident was first reported at around 3:30 p.m. at Walmart located at 1555 Hesperian Boulevard.
San Leandro police were initially dispatched to the store after getting a report of a robbery. Officers found no signs of theft taking place when they arrived on the scene. Instead, officers encountered a suspect swinging a baseball bat near the entrance inside the store.
"Both officers deployed their tasers which were not successful," said Ted Henderson, San Leandro Police Department. "After those deployments, one officer fired one shot. The report is he was swinging a bat. We don't know how close he was to the officer."
