Police Shoot Suspect in San Mateo Incident

A man in San Mateo was shot and injured by officers from the San Mateo and Burlingame police departments after allegedly pointing a loaded firearm at them early Saturday morning. The incident began after a 911 call reported gunshots on North San Mateo Drive, leading officers to find the suspect, who then fled while armed. Despite attempts to de-escalate the situation using verbal commands and a rubber projectile, the suspect did not comply, prompting officers to use their service weapons. The man was shot around 4 a.m. and taken to a hospital in stable condition. The officers involved are on administrative leave while the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office, along with both police departments, conduct separate investigations into the shooting. The suspect's firearm was identified as a .45-caliber Glock pistol, but his identity remains undisclosed.
