Northern California officer fired over 2020 deadly shooting

VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — A police officer who in 2020 fired a rifle five times through the windshield of an unmarked police vehicle, fatally shooting a San Francisco Bay Area man has been fired for violating several police department policies. The Vallejo Police Department said in a statement that the police officer who fatally shot Sean Monterrosa in June 2020 was terminated on Oct. 3. It said the officer’s firing comes after an independent third-party investigation determined he violated several department policies, including using deadly force that was not objectively reasonable, failing to de-escalate the situation and failing to activate his body-worn camera in a timely manner.
