| Victim's sister |
A black man was shot in an encounter with
police in southern California Tuesday afternoon as his sister cried
hysterically over the incident that has prompted angry community members
to gather around the scene protesting.
El
Cajon Police say they were called to a parking lot at the Broadway
Village Shopping Center at 1pm after being told a 30-year-old man was
acting 'erratically,' NBC San Diego reported.
Rob
Ransweiler, El Cajon Police spokesman, said the man did not comply with
officers demands and the encounter ended with an officer-involved
shooting. It's unclear if more than one officer opened fire.
The
man was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital and is listed in critical
condition. The circumstances that led to the shooting are unknown at
this time and police did not release his name.
