Two people, both reportedly armed, were shot and killed by Bay Area police officers in separate confrontations at nearly the same time Tuesday. In one case, a Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man during an attempt to serve a restraining order. In another, a woman who allegedly shoplifted from an Emeryville store was fatally shot in Oakland.

According to Bay City News, Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Deputies were serving a domestic violence restraining order to the resident of an apartment on the 1000 block of Claudia Court in Antioch at 12:40 p.m. Tuesday.

According to Contra Costa Sheriff's spokesperson Jimmy Lee, the target of the restraining order, who also had a no-bail warrant for his arrest, "charged at one of the deputies with some kind of weapon." The Chron reports both that that weapon was a knife, and that Lee "would not say what kind of weapon the man was wielding."

In any case, the deputy shot the man, killing him. His name, nor the name of the deputy, have not been released at publication time.

According to the Chron, "the man had mental issues and was known to police for barricading himself in his apartment for long stretches of time." Yet, they report, "many residents were skeptical about whether deputies needed to use deadly force."

Lee says that the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office, the Antioch Police Department and the sheriff’s office are all investigating the shooting.

At nearly the same moment in Emeryville, police were called to a shopping center on the border of Oakland and Emeryville, on the 3800 block Hollis Street near an area Home Depot.

The caller reported at 12:35 that there had been a confrontation with an armed and "combative shoplifting suspect," KCBS reports. Though the woman fled, Emeryville police found her five minutes later on the 3400 block of Hollis, which is in Oakland.

Emeryville police Sergeant Fred Dauer tells KCBS that the woman had a gun, which is why "at least one officer opened fire." The woman, who had not been identified at publication time, was killed.

Oakland police (since it happened in their city, they're also on the case) spokesperson Officer Johnna Watson says that the gun they say was the woman's was recovered at the scene.

Police spokespeople would not say, however, if the woman fired any shots at officers. According to KCBS, at least seven shots were heard, but police will not say how many shots were fired or how many officers fired their guns.

According to the Chron "five or six officers" were shouting at the woman before the shooting.

On Tuesday evening, they report, "more than 50 people gathered for a somber vigil" at the corner where the woman was killed. Her shooting is currently under investigation by Oakland and Emeryville police as well as the Alameda County district attorney’s office.
