Angelo D. Moreno was shot and killed by four American Canyon police officers when he was seen driving a stolen vehicle. The officers ordered him to exit the vehicle, he refused and allegedly pointed a "shiny object" at them, which they took for a gun. The object turned out to be a multi-tool. Sgt. Mike Hunter, Deputy Cullen Dodd, Deputy Bryan Schultz, and Deputy Kenneth VanDyke were the officers involved. Moreno was pronounced dead at the scene. Napa County District Attorney Gary Lieberstein said his office carefully reviewed the shooting and concluded that the officers were legally justified in shooting Moreno in self-defense.
