When police arrived Estrada was standing outside his home. Police said Estrada disobeyed commands from officers, went inside and came back out with what looked like an assault-style rifle that he pointed at the officers. Officers shot at Estrada and hit him at least once in the chest. The investigation has revealed that the weapon Estrada pointed at the officers strongly resembles AR-15/M-16 style rifles. The rifle Estrada pointed at officers was determined to be a Crosman M-16 style pellet rifle.
