Tonn was dismissed from the Vallejo force after he shot Sean Monterrosa outside of a Walgreens in June of 2020 after responding to reports of looting.

The department alleged Tonn fired at Monterrosa because he mistook a hammer in Monterrosa's sweatshirt for a gun.

Vallejo police has not commented.
