Vallejo police shot a suspect who pointed an assault-style weapon at officers at a Starbucks on Sunday night, according to the Vallejo Police Department.

Police say the incident started at a Starbucks near Lincoln Road and Pine Street in Vallejo at 8:50 p.m. on Sunday night.

Police said a male suspect opened the door of the Starbucks and pointed what appeared to be an assault rifle with a "high-capacity drum" at two police officers inside. The police say the gun appeared to have malfunctioned.

Police say the suspect fled the Starbucks and the officers chased him to Sheridan and Magazine street where he continued to attempt to manipulate his gun.

The officers shot the suspect three times and was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Neither officer was injured.

Police say they found an additional loaded handgun on the suspect, who was also wearing body armor.

One person at the scene told SFGATE he heard 3-to-5 gunshots.

A new conference with the Vallejo and Suisun City police departments is scheduled to be held at 10:30 in Vallejo to discuss the case.
