Police say they were following up on an armed robbery investigation when Stanley confronted them. Officers said Stanley exited his home with a weapon. One of the officers left the scene and another remained in an unmarked vehicle. Police say Stanley attempted to open the vehicle of the officer and was pointing a gun when he was shot. Stanley's family members told the Mercury News the officers never did announce themselves as police.
