A Woodland man has died after police officers fired on him with a Taser stun gun.
Police in Woodland, about 20 miles north of Sacramento, say the man became increasingly agitated as they tried to talk to him Wednesday morning. He had just left a clinic for people with mental health issues.
The man is believed to be in his 40s but his identity has not yet been released.
Lt. Charles Wilts says the man was not armed but was holding a pencil and moving closer to the officers when they fired at him.
Wilts says at least three officers deployed their Tasers, but it was not clear how many times the man was shocked. He also was struck in his arms and legs by police batons.
The Yolo County Coroner's Office planned an autopsy Thursday.
Comment: So this man was shot by 'at least three' police officers, and fatally wounded, for the crime of wielding a pencil?!
