SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA (KGO) -- The Santa Clara sheriff's department has stopped missions to find illegal marijuana-growing operations in the wilderness until an investigation into a fatal police shooting is completed.
According to the San Jose Mercury News: a man shot and killed by deputes during a marijuana farm raid last month near Morgan Hill was armed with a pellet gun.
Deputies say the suspect Jose Penaloza Soto didn't obey commands to drop his weapon -- so they opened fire.
They were not able to tell how dangerous the weapon was.
