San Mateo County's district attorney confirmed the man who was killed had two airsoft guns, not firearms.
The state Department of Justice will assign 27 special agents and six supervisory agents to the California Police Shooting Investigation Teams.In a statement, the attorney general’s office said airsoft guns are not considered deadly weapons unless “used in some particular manner likely to produce death or great bodily injury.”
The shooting occurred around 7:30 a.m. after reports came in of a man armed with two guns at the BART station entrance to the international terminal’s main hall, said airport spokesman Doug Yakel. Officers tried to de-escalate and used less-lethal measures on the man, but he continued to advance and the officers opened fire, Yakel said.
The man died from his injuries, he said. Another person, who wasn’t identified, suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.
