Well, I think they do handcuff shot bad guys even if they have very obvious physical signs of no longer being alive. I believe it is procedural for safety. This is how they they term neutralized and need EMS.

But this whole thing seemed very fast acting. Absolutely amazed it was on here before News10. Goes to show you, like I have suspicioned for some time, we have News10 lurkers looking for stories....

I know a News10 reporter that told me they DO check us out!

Bank robbery suspect fatally shot after fleeing into Folsom home



A Folsom bank robbery suspect was shot and killed late this afternoon after leading law enforcement officers on a foot chase through a residential neighborhood.

Folsom Police Sgt. Jason Browning said the robbery was reported at 5:11 p.m. at the Wells Fargo bank at 1113 E. Bidwell St., near Blue Ravine Road.

The suspect fled, leading officers on a chase over business rooftops and through back yards. In the 1300 block of School Street, the man entered a house through the rear of the residence, where a family with small children was at home, then ran out the front door. When confronted by officers, the man ran back into the house, Browning said.


Officers, fearing for the safety of the family, followed the suspect into the home. Officers fired at the suspect when they found him in a bedroom, Browning said.

The family members and officers were were not injured.

Folsom police, along with Sacramento police and Sacramento County sheriff's deputies took part in the pursuit. Browning declined to say which agencies were involved in the shooting.

He said the pursuit concluded about 25 minutes after the robbery was reported.

Browning described the suspect as white man in his 20s but said police had not yet identified him.

I will add that he was shooting at the police as he was running. so the cops had every reason to use lethal force.

sacramento county sheriff shot him. in the back.


Did they ever recover a gun? They said he didn't use one at the bank.

You caught that also? That he wasn't armed but he was shooting at sheriff while running through a residential area? So when and how did he become armed? Please don't tell me this guy over powered a cop and got their weapon!

Advisory from the FPD via Nixle:

On Tuesday (August 14th) at 5:11 pm the Folsom Police received a report of a robbery that had just occurred at the Wells Fargo Bank, 1113 East Bidwell Street in Folsom. During a search of the area, officers encountered the suspect a few blocks away walking in a residential neighborhood with a large backpack. When they tried to contact the man, he dropped a backpack and ran.

The foot pursuit of the suspect crossed through back yards and across the roof top of a nearby business. The officers’ radio traffic attracted the attention of police officers from the Sacramento Police Department and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department who happened to be in the area.

The suspect eventually fled through the front door of a home in the 1300 block of School Street occupied by four young children and their parents. The mother and children’s screams caught the attention of two officers; a Folsom Police Department officer with 18 years experience and a Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputy with 24 years experience. As the officers ran towards the front door of the house, the suspect exited, saw the officers, and returned towards the screaming family. The suspect was trying to get into a locked bedroom where the family had fled when the two officers engaged him in the hallway. As the suspect turned to flee into another bedroom, the Sheriff’s deputy shot the suspect once in the back.

Despite the efforts of the police and fire department personnel, the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. None of the family members were injured, but a Sacramento Police officer suffered a leg injury unrelated to the apprehension of the suspect. The identity of the suspect is pending confirmation by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office.

Here is an official FPD report sent out just a few minutes ago. It has pictures of the perp as well. No mention of shots fired by him.

Can't tell for sure, but in that picture that actually looks like one of those swim bags that the Walgreens sells. They have them with two logo's. VDLHS and FHS.

That is kind of disturbing to see a bank robber wearing.

I guess if he was trying to get into the room where the
family was hiding the police have the right to shoot him
in the back if necessary. I really don't care in a case
like this.

Good going Folsom Police and all the others involved.

he was trying to get into a different bedroom, not that it matters. for some reason, I really hope this isn't a local young man.

What they haven't yet reported is whether the officer had a clear view to see
if he was carrying a weapon. If his back was to the officer and turned slightly
to get into another room without the officer having full view of both hands the
officer might have feared for the safety of whomever might have been in that other
room. None of the reports yet,including the one from FPD, have clarified this
point.

those houses are pretty small inside. one hallway down the middle with a bedroom on the right, then a bathroom across the hall, followed by another bedroom, and then a quick turn down another short hall to another bedroom. small small space. probably pretty panicky and pretty loud for a gun to go off.

It might be reasonable to assume that a bank robber has a gun or at least must have claimed to -- how else would he expect to get the teller to turn over the money? "I don't have a gun but I hope you'll give me the money anyway."

Thus, in a situation of incomplete information, the police officer might be reasonable to assume that a bank robber must have a weapon.

Sad result, but I guess if you rob a bank, you assume the risk that the situation will escalate. Thank goodness the family wasn't hurt.

witnesses said they heard him shooting at police as he fled. news reports state he had an assault rifle with him, although he didn't threaten anyone with it in the bank. Might have been in his backpack. looks like he started dropping stuff as he fled. in the photo at the bank, he had a shirt on, but he was reported as shirtless as he ran into the neighborhood. he also dropped two backpacks as he ran. in the photo, it looks like he only has one. kids, let this be a lesson to you, crime doesn't pay. and if you get scared, don't run into someone's home. just lay face down on the ground with your arms at your side and you'll be fine.

Latest report is that they aren't sure why witnesses say he had a rifle at the bank, but it doesn't appear he was armed. That backpack in the picture isn't big enough to stuff a rifle in. The second photo kind of does look like he's holding something in his hands, but it's not really clear.
They still haven't recovered a weapon, but it is a big area and it sounds like the search went on for 20 minutes so there would have been time to stash a weapon.
I think his being shot had more to do with the family being inside and, like you pointed out, it's very tight quarters in these houses and only seconds to make a decision.
