A Brentwood police officer shot and killed a man on Christmas Eve after the suspect attempted to grab a weapon during a traffic stop, police said.
Officers had pulled over the man’s vehicle near Balfour Road and Foothill Drive around 10:55 p.m. after suspecting him of driving under the influence, authorities said.
As officers attempted to arrest the man, who was only described as in his 40s and whose identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, police said he resisted and ignored commands before attempting to grab a high-powered rifle.
Several officers attempted to provide medical aid, but the suspect died at the scene, authorities said.
The investigation remains ongoing and the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office is conducting its own independent review of the incident.
Body camera and police car footage from the incident will be released at a later time.
Police have asked anyone with information about the incident to contact the Brentwood Police Department at 925-809-7911.
