Richmond police said the man shot and killed by officers last week was illegally in possession of a large arsenal of weapons.
Two officers shot and killed 66-year-old Kevin McDonald on June 28 while serving a search warrant at a home on Sanderling Island in Point Richmond. Police said officers were forced to shoot McDonald in order to protect themselves.
Police were attempting to retrieve three guns that McDonald's roommate wasn't supposed to have. The roommate was in police custody at the time. Body camera footage shows several armed officers searching the house. Police said as officers were about to open the door to McDonald's bedroom, he said something to the effect of"don't come in here." Officers can then be seen opening the door to the bedroom. Police said McDonald was sitting on his bed with a loaded AR-style pistol pointed at the officers.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
