12:30 p.m.
A man who witnessed the fatal police shooting of an armed robbery suspect in San Francisco says officers talked to the suspect for at least 10 minutes before discharging their weapons.
Albert Balcazar lives near where the shooting happened Tuesday night. He says the officers gave the man hiding in a car's trunk a long time to get out and turn himself in.
Balcazar says he heard a shot ring out but could not tell who fired it.
In a bystander's cellphone video played by local media, a woman speaking in Spanish through a bullhorn is heard asking the man to show officers his hands.
After she warns that he will be shot if he doesn't comply, a shot rings out.
The woman asks him several times to show his left hand before dozens of shots are fired.
