LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Police responding to a man-with-a-gun call in an upscale Long Beach neighborhood shot and killed a 35-year-old man sitting on his porch.
Investigators say Douglas Zerby, whose name was released Monday, was shot to death at about 4:40 p.m. Sunday.
A Police Department news release says officers observed a man believed to be armed with a handgun and took cover. While waiting for backup officers, the department says an officer involved shooting occurred and Zerby was killed.
It's not known if a weapon was found.
The man's father Mark Zerby was enraged, confronting investigators and shouting, "You shot a kid. He's unarmed."
Neighbor Gilbert Salas told Fox Television that officers drove up and immediately began shooting. Witnesses say several shots were fired.
Police have refused comment since the sketchy Sunday night news release
