The Eureka Police Department has closed off a portion of P Street between 2nd and 3rd as they investigate an officer-involved shooting that took place this morning, according to a message posted to Facebook.

“Please remain clear of the area, there is no danger to the public,” the message says. “Anticipate the area being closed to the public for the remainder of the day. Updates will be posted as they become available.”

The Outpost’s Andrew Goff was on the scene early this afternoon and reported that investigators were questioning residents in the vicinity. 

According to Oliver Cory of Redheaded Blackbelt, scanner traffic indicated that the incident began with a traffic stop followed by a foot pursuit and ended with first responders giving chest compressions to a man with multiple chest wounds.

We will update this post as more information becomes available.
