OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/25/2021, at approximately 3:45 p.m., West Sacramento Police Department officers responded to the Walmart parking lot near Ikea Court after a 911 caller reported a man with a knife who had apparently injured himself. The man was subsequently identified as Adam John Lundt, 24.
.
Officers located Lundt in a vehicle near Ikea Court and Reed Avenue. Police ordered Lundt out of the vehicle. Body-camera and dash-camera footage later released by the department showed Lundt getting out holding a knife and what appeared to officers to be a handgun.
.
Police alleged that Lundt moved rapidly toward an officer while holding the weapons. Two West Sacramento police officers opened fire, striking him. Emergency medical personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but Lundt died at the scene.

Investigators subsequently determined that the apparent handgun Lundt carried was a pellet gun. The knife had reportedly been purchased at Walmart shortly before the encounter.
.
The Woodland Police Department conducted an independent criminal investigation into the shooting. West Sacramento Police Department also conducted an internal investigation, and the Yolo County District Attorney's Office was expected to conduct a separate review of the fatal police gunfire.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
Two West Sacramento Police Department officers fired at Lundt. Their identities were not disclosed in the sources located for this report.
