A domestic violence call turned into a fatal officer-involved shooting on the Central Coast.
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in Nipomo Sunday night. A 911 caller said a man inside was threatening to kill his mother.
Joseph Munoz was in the doorway of an apartment when they arrived. Officers say he ducked back inside and came out with a shotgun, firing it at them.
Deputies opened fire, shooting and killing the 48-year-old man. No deputies were hurt, and no one else was injured. The deputies were placed on paid administrative leave pending the results of an investigation.
