Police could be heard yelling at the woman to drop a weapon in footage obtained by a news videographer.
Anaheim police said they fatally shot a 20-year-old woman at a bus stop as she held what turned out to be a BB gun or pellet gun on Sunday morning, Oct. 29.
The shooting occurred around 9 a.m. on Anaheim Boulevard, South of Ball Road, said Sgt. Jon McClintock. Officers were responding to a report of a person armed with a rifle, the release said. A portion of Ball Road was closed off because of the investigation, and red caution tape surrounded the Burger King.
