Contreras reportedly carjacked an SUV and drove it across three counties, pursued by the CHP. He crashed in San Francisco after a chase by SFPD. While police were waiting for a less-lethal beanbag shotgun, Contreras fired his antique Russian revolver at a man who attempted to help him out of the car, and then reportedly turned his gun at the officers. They then fired 32 rounds at him, killing him.
