Early Monday morning, a trespassing report led to a deputy-involved shooting in Redlands, resulting in one person being hospitalized, as reported by NBC Los Angeles. Officials from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said that the individual was on railroad tracks, just south of the 10 Freeway, when the incident occurred.
The encounter, which is described as a “lethal force encounter” by the sheriff's department, took place close to the Nevada Street Metrolink, according to information obtained by KTLA. However, the details surrounding what led the deputy to deploy lethal force remain unspecified, with the department revealing no further context on the altercation at this time.
Cell phone footage captured by a bystander and circulated by CBS Los Angeles shows the moments before the shooting, with the deputy aiming a weapon at the person who then holds out their arms and moves rapidly toward the officer before gunshots are heard. "The deputy was not injured" and "no further information is available at this time."
