A black man reportedly acting erratically at a strip mall in suburban San Diego was shot and killed by police after pulling an object from his pocket, pointing it at officers and assuming a "shooting stance," authorities said. Before police announced the death, dozens of protesters gathered at the shooting scene, with some claiming the man was shot with his hands raised. The fatal shooting comes just weeks after black men were shot and killed by police in Tulsa, Okla., and in Charlotte, N.C., where violent protests broke out. He said that he was driving out of his apartment complex past the shooting scene and saw a shirtless black man with his hands raised. The officer "let go of the trigger and shot him again and again," Rodriguez told the San Diego Union-Tribune.
