An adult male was reportedly shot and killed Monday by a local law enforcement officer, according to Del Norte County Sheriff Garrett Scott. 

The event began at about 4:30 p.m. with a report of a man with a gun at the Surf Apartments in Crescent City. During the response, a weapon was fired, and the male who was shot died at the scene. Neither the name of the deceased, nor the name of the law enforcement official involved, was released.

At the request of both the sheriff’s office and the Crescent City Police Department, a California Highway Patrol team from Sacramento will investigate the incident. Sheriff Scott stated that more information will be released once it is clear such information would not jeopardize a complete investigation.
