A San Francisco Bay Area officer has been charged with voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Steven Taylor who was wielding a baseball bat inside a Walmart.

Officer Jason Fletcher shot and killed 33-year-old Steven Demarco Taylor on April 18.

A San Leandro police officer shot and killed a man who was reported to be swinging a baseball bat Saturday afternoon at a Walmart store.

Part of the encounter was caught on video by at least one shopper. The 58-second video shows a black male brandishing a bat as two San Leandro officers approach him, with guns drawn, not far from the entrance to the store.
