He did not break into any rooms but instead tried to enter a room that he had rented with his cousins who were asleep. Someone saw him, mistook him for a burglar, called police who came and shot and killed him. Details in links below.

Walla Walla County deputies escalated a chase until the driver crashed into a power pole and died. The Sheriff’s Department did not say why they chased the man, merely stated they tried to arrest him. Washington State originally in April of 2021 prohibited almost all police pursuits.

City : Anaheim
County : Orange
State : California
Agency : Anaheim PD
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during “person with a gun” call
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Anaheim PD were sent on a call about a “woman with rifle.” Police arrived, got into some sort of argument with her and shot and killed Abigail Lopez who held a "BB or pellet gun that resembled a legitimate short-barrel assault weapon." She was not armed with any deadly weapon when killed and there is no record of her threatening anyone. BWC is needed to understand this event better. Police arrived and apparently did not “fear for their lives” when they saw her holding the pellet gun or they would likely not have stood around arguing with Lopez for a while if they felt in mortal danger, as eyewitnesses report an argument preceding the deliberate center mass kill shot described. It is unclear how the “argument” with police escalated into a shooting over a pellet gun after the argument.
