The fatal shooting of a person by at least one on-duty sheriff’s deputy in East County was being probed by state investigators Thursday.
The shooting took place at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office and state Attorney General’s Office.
It stemmed from a call received roughly an hour earlier for a welfare check in the 1700 block of Kyrsten Terrace in Alpine, sheriff’s Lt. Sean Gallagher said, adding that no deputies were injured.
Authorities released no details about the deceased person.
The lieutenant said he could release no further information about the circumstances of the shooting because the investigation had been taken over by state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office.
A 2020 state law, Assembly Bill 1506, requires the California Department of Justice to investigate law enforcement shootings resulting in the deaths of unarmed people in the state.
A statement from Bonta’s office said state officials could release no further information about the incident.
“Upon completion of the investigation, it will be turned over to DOJ’s Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division for independent review,” the statement said.
