This is the official story regarding the Monday shooting in Richmond that started in another jurisdiction (Credit CBS5):
May 29, 2006
One man was shot to death by San Pablo police in Richmond this evening after a vehicle pursuit turned into a physical confrontation, according to Richmond police Sgt. Enos Johnson.
San Pablo police tried to pull over a vehicle in the area of Wilcox Avenue and 20th Street a few minutes after 5 p.m. today for reckless driving, Johnson said.
The vehicle did not yield to police, and San Pablo police chased the vehicle into Richmond, according to Johnson. The pursuit ended when the vehicle crashed into a parked car in the area of South Fifth Street and Florida Avenue.
One of the occupants of the vehicle took off on foot, but a San Pablo police officer caught up to him. A struggle ensued between the man and one San Pablo police officer in the 200 block of South Fourth Street.
They were joined by a second San Pablo police officer, who also became involved in the struggle, Johnson said. The man was shot once by police during the fight and died on the scene, according to Johnson.
Johnson was unsure as to if there was a second person in the vehicle that police had been pursuing. The two police officers were treated for minor injuries. An investigation into the incident will be conducted by the Richmond and San Pablo police departments, as well as by the Contra Costa County district attorney's office, Johnson said.

Good to hear that the police officers got through with only scuffs.
Too bad the crook bought it, but then that's what he gets for being dumb.
