SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Few details are being released today regarding an officer-involved shooting that claimed the life of a man who allegedly rammed his vehicle into police early this morning, according to Lt. Jim Buchanan.

The incident unfolded as officers were at the scene of an unrelated fatal accident on El Camino Real and Bowers Avenue.

Buchanan said that just after midnight officers spotted an older model Dodge Dart driving in a "reckless fashion," although Buchanan could not comment further on the driver's actions.

Officers in a marked Chevrolet Tahoe and another unmarked sport utility vehicle attempted to pull the Dart over at 12:12 a.m. but the driver refused to yield.

The driver continued for approximately two miles into a residential area at the intersection of Serra and Clara Vista Avenues, according to Buchanan.

At that point the driver rammed the marked police vehicle in the passenger side before three officers fired their weapons, killing the driver, 22-year-old Eric Kleemeyer.

Buchanan said the officers, who are all described as veterans, feared for their lives and took the action they felt was necessary.

All three officers have been interviewed and placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of a joint investigation between the Santa Clara Police Department and the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office.

Buchanan was unsure whether each of the officers were in uniform at the time of the shooting, but he confirmed that the driver of the marked vehicle was wearing police clothing.

The other two officers were likely in plain clothes as part of a warrant team, but would have had appropriate identification.

The contents of the vehicle have not been determined as the investigation is still pending.

The incident is the third officer-involved shooting in the Bay Area in just three days.

A machete-wielding man withstood approximately 15 rounds of non-lethal hits before members of a SWAT team fatally shot him in Redwood City Sunday night.

The man is believed to be from Newark and was killed by San Mateo County SWAT team members, who fired multiple shots at the suspect as he allegedly charged them with the large knife, Patrol Capt. Scott Warner said.

Prior to the shooting, law enforcement officers had spent some eight hours trying to coax the man out of his nephew's home located in the 1200 block of Valota Road, according to Warner.

Police responded to the home around noon, after receiving a report of a disturbance, Warner said.

When officers entered the home, the man retreated to closet inside of a bedroom and refused to come out.

Spanish-speaking hostage negotiators and the man's mother tried unsuccessfully to get the man to surrender, Warner said.

Other than asking for some water or to speak to his mother, the man said very little all day, Warner said.

He charged at police multiple times prompting the officers, who were standing outside of a bedroom window, to shoot him with non-lethal weapons including a Sage gun, a Taser and pepper spray, Warner said.

The non-lethal weapons had little to no effect on the man, who was able to pull Taser darts of out his chest.

Authorities shot and killed him around 8:15 p.m. as he allegedly charged the officers once again, Warner said.

A Pacifica man was also killed by police officers Sunday night after being shocked with a Taser gun.

Capt. Jim Tasa reported that police were called to a residence on Inverness Drive in Pacifica's West View neighborhood at 11:34 p.m. on a report that a person need medical assistance. When police arrived, they encountered 30-year-old Greg Saulsbury.

Saulsbury was allegedly combative and a struggled ensued between him and the police officers, reports Tasa. Police used a Taser on Saulsbury to subdue him. The man died shortly afterward.
