deputy involved shooting

NBC Bay Area has learned the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office is taking a closer look at an investigation of an officer-involved shooting that made headlines around the world earlier this year.

A former San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy accused of shooting and killing a mentally ill man who had escaped custody outside the downtown jail in May has been charged with second-degree murder, the San Diego District Attorney’s Office confirmed Monday.

An hours-long standoff in the San Joaquin Delta community of Knightsen, which began after a woman reported that a man had held her hostage overnight and threatened to set her on fire, ended late Thursday with a suspect dead and three sheriff’s deputies hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
