A 47-year-old Orange County man died after he was shot and wounded by police officers in Seal Beach Monday, authorities in Southern California said.

Officials with the Seal Beach Police Department said officers were called to the 100 block of Old Ranch Road, located off Lampson Avenue, on Monday around 9:35 p.m. following reports of a suspicious person in the Orange County neighborhood.

Shortly after officers arrived at the scene, they located the suspect, identified as Michael Bernard Emch Jr, and spoke to him. Seal Beach PD investigators said Emch pulled a gun on them and that’s when the officer-involved shooting occurred.

"There appears to be a connection between the resident and the suspicious person who was contacted by law enforcement. At this moment, there is no threat to public safety in this community. This doesn’t appear to be a random occurrence," said Seal Beach Lt. Julia Clasby.

After the shooting, officers provided lifesaving efforts until paramedics arrived. Emch was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead.
