SARATOGA — Details about the city’s first officer-involved shooting in almost three years continued to trickle out Tuesday, including the revelation that sheriff’s deputies had previously gone to the home where they came face to face with a gun-toting resident Monday night.

Around 7:50 p.m. Monday, deputies responded to the 1200 block of Titus Avenue and spent 50 minutes “attempting to make contact with the individual” inside a residence there, according to Lt. James Jensen of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies went around the back of the home and entered through a back door. That’s when they encountered the man, who raised a gun at them and ignored orders to drop it, said Jensen, adding that the man was fatally shot by a deputy with more than 10 years on the force.

The names of the deputy and the man who was shot and killed have not been released.

Jensen told ABC7 News, this newspaper’s media partner, that deputies went to the home after receiving a call from someone who said they hadn’t seen the resident in several weeks.

Asked whether sheriff’s deputies had been to the home before, Jensen said, “more than once,” but he did not know for what type of calls. It also wasn’t known Tuesday whether deputies had any reason to believe the man might be armed and dangerous.

Investigators remained at the scene Tuesday morning and had Titus Avenue, a street lined with single-story residences on wide lots, blocked off at Prospect Road. Christa McAuliffe School, located at the intersection of Titus and Prospect, was in session.

It was the first fatal officer-involved shooting in Saratoga since late 2013.

On Dec. 10, 2013, Brandon Marshall, an engineer for Roku, was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy outside of the company’s Saratoga office after he reportedly swung a key fob, or “kubaton,” at deputies.
