Because the individual did not respond to their attempts to communicate with him, the authorities believe that a shooting involving an officer took place.

As a direct consequence of this, the Madera Police Department asserts that the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, and they have delegated the investigation to the Madera County Sheriff’s Office.
