A Contra Costa County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a suspect in what may have been an attempted home invasion or robbery in Alameda this morning according to Alameda Police Lieutenant Jill Ottavio who spoke with Bay City News.
The home invasion on the 2000 block of Buena Vista Avenue was reported at 10:44 a.m., when shots were fired. Neighborhood residents were asked to shelter in place in case there were more suspects, and according to Ottaviano, there still may be a second or third suspect in the case, but none was located near the scene.
