Man shot by San Joaquin Sheriff deputies dies from wounds | Update

Deputies were called out to the Clarion Inn Suites on reports of a man waving a gun around. The deputies said when they arrived, the man pointed the gun at them.

STOCKTON, Calif. — 4:15 p.m. update:  

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office says that the man deputies shot late Thursday night has died, according to a statement released on Facebook.  His name hasn't been released to the public.

The statement says the gun the man allegedly pointed at officers wasn't a real gun.

"At first look, it appears to be a possible .40 caliber Smith and Wesson. It was only after closer inspection by deputies, after the incident, that they were able to determine it was a replica weapon," the statement says.

Original story:

Authorities are investigating a deputy-involved shooting that happened at a Stockton hotel just before midnight on Thursday.

According to the report, San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies were called out to the Clarion Inn Suites, located in the 4200 block of Waterloo Road, responding to reports of a man waving a gun around.

Deputies arrived and said they found a man matching the description still with the weapon, a black and silver automatic pistol, in his hand.

The deputies said when they confronted the man, he turned and aimed the pistol at them. That is when at least one of the deputies fired, striking the suspect. First responders were called to the scene and performed CPR on the suspect before taking him to the hospital. His condition and identity have not yet been released.

None of the deputies were injured during this incident. The case remains under investigation.
