VALLEJO (AP) — Tensions are high as police in this Northern California city are investigating its fifth fatal officer-involved shooting this year. The latest shooting happened early Sunday after officers fired more than 30 rounds and shot and killed a parolee who apparently turned towards them with a weapon that turned out to be a pellet gun. Two officers were conducting a routine patrol in north Vallejo when they spotted two men sitting inside a white Thunderbird shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday, police Sgt. Jeff Bassett said.
