Police Continue Lafayette Shooting Probe

A sheriff's spokesman said investigators are working on an updated statement about Tuesday morning's police-involved shooting in Lafayette

A Lafayette man was shot after brandishing a knife and refusing officers' commands to drop it, police said.

A neighbor told Patch and a report in the News 24/680 website identified the man shot as Michael Schock, 28, living at 3425 Woodview Drive.

Asked to confirm that identity, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee wrote, "We never released the name," in an email Wednesday morning.

Without identifying him, the sheriff's office reported Tuesday afternoon that the man had come out of surgery and remained at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.

Shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday, two Lafayette police officers responded to a series of 9-1-1 calls and immediate hangups from 3425 Woodview Drive on a cul-de-sac by a forested ridge. The officers noticed several broken windows in the house and a resident came out of the house with a knife, police said.

The house is at a cul-de-sac on a forested ridge where wild turkeys wander along the road, not paying much attention to the handful of cars that come by.
