* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Vallejo, California — On July 20, 2026, at approximately 12:19 p.m., the Vallejo Police Department Communications Division received a 911 call reporting of being robbed at gunpoint by a suspect carrying a rifle, who then fled in the victim's Honda Accord. Roughly an hour later, officers located the stolen vehicle through an automated license plate alert and followed it to Mahogany Drive, a dead-end street in north Vallejo. As an officer attempted to stop the car and give commands to its occupants, police say the driver, identified as 44-year-old Rommel Delfin Querol, immediately grabbed a .223-caliber AR-15-style rifle and opened fire, forcing the officer to take cover and return fire as backup units rushed to the scene. Authorities said the exchange of gunfire continued after a second officer arrived, with the stolen Honda rolling forward and crashing into a parked vehicle and a fence before coming to a stop. Officers said they fired again after the suspect continued to pose a threat, ultimately striking Querol, who died at the scene despite officers providing emergency aid once the area was secure. Investigators recovered the rifle, which had a high-capacity magazine. A passenger surrendered without incident and was taken into custody. Officials identified the officers involved, confirmed neither was injured, and said both have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the ongoing criminal and administrative reviews. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟…
