Police also released the names of the officers involved in the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department identified the deceased man as Richard Perkins, 39, whom police say brandished a pellet gun at the officers before they opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers who discharged their weapons were identified as Sgt. Joseph Turner, an OPD officer of seven years; officers Jonathan Cairo and Joshua Barnard, both of whom have been on the force for one year; and Officer Allahno Hughes, seven months with the OPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 6:05 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent said the four officers who shot and killed a 39-year-old man on Sunday were wearing body cameras but that the devices were switched off when the incident occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent said the officers were doing paperwork related to impounding several motorcycles that had been involved in a sideshow near 90th and Bancroft avenues in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expanding on the department's earlier account of the incident, Whent said the man approached the officers and pointed what turned out to be a replica pistol in their \"general direction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four officers -- three rookies and a sergeant whom Whent said is a seven-year veteran on the Oakland force -- opened fire and fatally wounded the man.

Joseph Turner, an OPD officer of seven years; officers Jonathan Cairo and Joshua Barnard, both of whom have been on the force for one year; and Officer Allahno Hughes, seven months with the OPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 6:05 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent said the four officers who shot and killed a 39-year-old man on Sunday were wearing body cameras but that the devices were switched off when the incident occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent said the officers were doing paperwork related to impounding several motorcycles that had been involved in a sideshow near 90th and Bancroft avenues in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The man struck the officer with a chain, police say, after which she shot and killed him. Neither the officer nor the suspect have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timeline of the emergency response after the shooting has become a subject of interest because some at the scene accused police of not acting quickly enough to aid the mortally wounded suspect. One person in the video -- \u003ca href=\"#shootingvideo\">described more fully in an earlier update\u003c/a> -- says repeatedly that officers had left the dying man unattended for 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police dispatch traffic and the video appear to show the response was considerably faster than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police dispatch audio captures at least three calls for emergency medical response to the scene within five minutes of the shooting, including one made immediately after the injured officer was transported from the scene in a fellow officer's police car. The video shows officers attending to the suspect about six minutes after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video -- see \u003ca href=\"#shootingvideo\">details\u003c/a> below -- does not include a time stamp.

Whent said police arrived on the scene about 6:45 a.m. but couldn't locate the suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An officer from the day shift then came on duty and took a report from the resident who was allegedly assaulted. After the officer completed the report, she began to drive away from the scene when the suspect walked in front of her vehicle. The officer got out of her car and was immediately assaulted by the suspect, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was \"holding a metal chain and swinging it at the officer,\" causing multiple lacerations, Whent said. \"The suspect continued to advance, swinging the chain at the officer. The officer drew her firearm and fired at the suspect, striking him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and the officer, an 18-year veteran, was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for head injuries and is in stable condition, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has body-cam video of the incident, and that it was too early to say yet whether the shooting was justified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why the officer didn't use her taser instead of shooting the suspect, Whent said that would have contradicted protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that are armed with weapons, we recommend a taser if you’ve got a lethal option behind you, so that in the event the taser fails, you have somebody with a lethal option,\" he said. \"This was the only officer that was on scene at the time confronting somebody with a weapon, so she used her firearm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the name of the officer nor the deceased suspect have been released yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can read in more detail in our original post below, at least one witness to the aftermath of the shooting was disturbed by what she characterized as police indifference to the wounded man as officers gathered around their injured colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one was doing anything,\" said Nayomi Munaweera . \"He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Whent said at his press conference that officers are obligated to respond to the injuries of suspects. \"Immediately, aid was requested for both of them,\" he said, referring to the officer and the man who eventually expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police officer this morning shot and killed a man after he attacked her, police said today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 8:40 a.m., the officer responded to an assault call near Lake Merritt on MacArthur Boulevard, encountering a male suspect, OPD spokeswoman Johanna Watson said. She said the man struck the officer multiple times in the head and face with a metal object. The officer then shot the man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer was taken to a hospital to be treated for head trauma, according to Watson. She did not release the condition of the officer. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Officer-and-suspect-injured-in-Oakland-police-6469138.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> that a witness saw the officer \"bleeding heavily from her face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle also said: \"Acquaintances of the dead suspect, who were at the scene but did not want to be identified, said he suffered from an unspecified mental illness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness to the shooting's immediate aftermath said on video today that police gathered around the injured officer while ignoring the wounded suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nayomi Munaweera, a local writer, discussed the incident in a video interview with someone who identified himself as being with the Anti Police-Terror Project. Munaweera said she was walking up MacArthur when she heard gunshots. When she came upon the scene, she saw an African-American man lying on his stomach, bleeding from the mouth. At the same time, she said, a white, female police officer was sitting on the pavement, with blood on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were two or three police officers around her,\" Munaweera said. \"There was no one around the man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the man appeared to be dead, Munaweera said, \"No, he was definitely alive. No one was doing anything. He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She goes on to say: \"They finally did CPR, but it was like, too late. A bunch of blood came out. It took about 15-20 minutes before anyone administered to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear if police had attended to the man before Munaweera came upon the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munaweera also said she saw a bike chain by the man's side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD is holding a press conference now to discuss the shooting, the sixth officer-involved shooting in Oakland this year, four of which have been fatal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the shooting, activists have \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/316716461849844/435140736674082/\" target=\"_blank\">called for a 5 p.m. protest \u003c/a>in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bay City News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The man struck the officer with a chain, police say, after which she shot and killed him. Neither the officer nor the suspect have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timeline of the emergency response after the shooting has become a subject of interest because some at the scene accused police of not acting quickly enough to aid the mortally wounded suspect. One person in the video -- \u003ca href=\"#shootingvideo\">described more fully in an earlier update\u003c/a> -- says repeatedly that officers had left the dying man unattended for 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police dispatch traffic and the video appear to show the response was considerably faster than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police dispatch audio captures at least three calls for emergency medical response to the scene within five minutes of the shooting, including one made immediately after the injured officer was transported from the scene in a fellow officer's police car. The video shows officers attending to the suspect about six minutes after the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The officer drew her firearm and fired at the suspect, striking him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and the officer, an 18-year veteran, was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for head injuries and is in stable condition, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has body-cam video of the incident, and that it was too early to say yet whether the shooting was justified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why the officer didn't use her taser instead of shooting the suspect, Whent said that would have contradicted protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that are armed with weapons, we recommend a taser if you’ve got a lethal option behind you, so that in the event the taser fails, you have somebody with a lethal option,\" he said. \"This was the only officer that was on scene at the time confronting somebody with a weapon, so she used her firearm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the name of the officer nor the deceased suspect have been released yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can read in more detail in our original post below, at least one witness to the aftermath of the shooting was disturbed by what she characterized as police indifference to the wounded man as officers gathered around their injured colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one was doing anything,\" said Nayomi Munaweera . \"He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Whent said at his press conference that officers are obligated to respond to the injuries of suspects. \"Immediately, aid was requested for both of them,\" he said, referring to the officer and the man who eventually expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police officer this morning shot and killed a man after he attacked her, police said today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 8:40 a.m., the officer responded to an assault call near Lake Merritt on MacArthur Boulevard, encountering a male suspect, OPD spokeswoman Johanna Watson said. She said the man struck the officer multiple times in the head and face with a metal object. The officer then shot the man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer was taken to a hospital to be treated for head trauma, according to Watson. She did not release the condition of the officer. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Officer-and-suspect-injured-in-Oakland-police-6469138.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> that a witness saw the officer \"bleeding heavily from her face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle also said: \"Acquaintances of the dead suspect, who were at the scene but did not want to be identified, said he suffered from an unspecified mental illness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness to the shooting's immediate aftermath said on video today that police gathered around the injured officer while ignoring the wounded suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nayomi Munaweera, a local writer, discussed the incident in a video interview with someone who identified himself as being with the Anti Police-Terror Project. Munaweera said she was walking up MacArthur when she heard gunshots. When she came upon the scene, she saw an African-American man lying on his stomach, bleeding from the mouth. At the same time, she said, a white, female police officer was sitting on the pavement, with blood on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were two or three police officers around her,\" Munaweera said. \"There was no one around the man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the man appeared to be dead, Munaweera said, \"No, he was definitely alive. No one was doing anything. He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She goes on to say: \"They finally did CPR, but it was like, too late. A bunch of blood came out. It took about 15-20 minutes before anyone administered to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear if police had attended to the man before Munaweera came upon the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munaweera also said she saw a bike chain by the man's side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD is holding a press conference now to discuss the shooting, the sixth officer-involved shooting in Oakland this year, four of which have been fatal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the shooting, activists have \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/316716461849844/435140736674082/\" target=\"_blank\">called for a 5 p.m. protest \u003c/a>in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Family-Ex-college-football-player-killed-by-San-6077872.php\" target=\"_blank\">details the police account\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Watkins’ 911 call came in at 5:01 p.m., said Sgt. Heather Randol, a San Jose police spokeswoman. “The caller stated there was a male breaking into his home armed with a knife,” Randol said. “The caller also stated he was locked in an upstairs bedroom with his children and requested help from police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Watkins was on the sidewalk in front of the home when two officers got there. He was holding a knife with a 4-inch blade and ran toward the officers in a threatening manner, Randol said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Both officers ordered the suspect to stop and drop the knife,” Randol said. “The suspect continued to charge the officers with the knife in his hand. Both officers, fearing for their safety and defense of their life, fired at the suspect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the police radio, one officer said, “We have a male with a knife. He's walking toward us.”\u003cbr>\n“Shots fired! Shots fired!” an officer said moments later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A short time later, an officer reported, “Male is down. Knife’s still in hand.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faye Buchanan, the mother of Watkins' fiancee, told the Chronicle that Watkins was depressed and she had called a suicide hotline immediately before the shooting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He needed mental help, not nine bullets,” she said. “They shot him as if he was coming with a machine gun, a machete — not a pocketknife to cut boxes open.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Police did not report which officer fired the weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers gave the man first aid until paramedics arrived. The man was then taken by ambulance to a local hospital to be treated but his condition is not known.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers wore body cameras, but whether they were activated during the confrontation was not immediately reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both officers have been placed on administrative leave, standard protocol in such cases. Oakland police and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office are investigating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting brought top police commanders, including Chief Sean Whent, to the area, where numerous streets were blocked off as police investigated.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The shooting was the second involving the OPD after the department's officers had gone 20 months without firing their weapons in the line of duty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/02/10/opds-fast-release-of-info-on-police-shooting-may-signal-broader-trend\" target=\"_blank\">Early last Saturday\u003c/a>, officers responded to a disturbance in the city's San Antonio neighborhood and encountered a man they say was armed with golf clubs. During a confrontation, they said, the man swung two clubs at them, prompting one officer to open fire. The man was not hit, however, and was taken into custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's shooting comes as authorities in San Jose investigate a fatal police shooting on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two San Jose officers shot and killed Phillip Watkins, 23, after he allegedly charged at them with a knife. San Jose police said Thursday that Watkins apparently made a false 911 report of a home invasion at his fiancee's address. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Family-Ex-college-football-player-killed-by-San-6077872.php\" target=\"_blank\">details the police account\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Watkins’ 911 call came in at 5:01 p.m., said Sgt. Heather Randol, a San Jose police spokeswoman. “The caller stated there was a male breaking into his home armed with a knife,” Randol said. “The caller also stated he was locked in an upstairs bedroom with his children and requested help from police.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Watkins was on the sidewalk in front of the home when two officers got there. He was holding a knife with a 4-inch blade and ran toward the officers in a threatening manner, Randol said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Both officers ordered the suspect to stop and drop the knife,” Randol said. “The suspect continued to charge the officers with the knife in his hand. Both officers, fearing for their safety and defense of their life, fired at the suspect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the police radio, one officer said, “We have a male with a knife. He's walking toward us.”\u003cbr>\n“Shots fired! Shots fired!” an officer said moments later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A short time later, an officer reported, “Male is down. Knife’s still in hand.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faye Buchanan, the mother of Watkins' fiancee, told the Chronicle that Watkins was depressed and she had called a suicide hotline immediately before the shooting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“He needed mental help, not nine bullets,” she said. “They shot him as if he was coming with a machine gun, a machete — not a pocketknife to cut boxes open.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The relatively quick and detailed release of information this past weekend regarding Oakland's first officer-involved shooting in almost two years signals a new culture of transparency in the department, experts and observers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police dispatch got a call at 12:14 a.m. Saturday reporting that a 24-year-old male in psychiatric crisis was armed with a weapon and threatening to hit family members, according to the release (\u003ca href=\"#release\">read below\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police sergeant and other officers responded to the call and headed to the 2100 block of East 17th Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They encountered a man carrying two golf clubs, who tried to strike the officers. They issued commands and then tried Tasers, but the stun gun probes didn't make contact. One of the officers fired his or her gun. No one was injured, and the man was transported by paramedics for a mental health evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still details of the incident that are unclear.

They issued commands and then tried Tasers, but the stun gun probes didn't make contact. One of the officers fired his or her gun. No one was injured, and the man was transported by paramedics for a mental health evaluation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are still details of the incident that are unclear.
