Authorities have identified a domestic violence suspect who was fatally shot by Redwood City police while attempting to use children as a shield Tuesday afternoon.
The San Mateo County Coroner's Office said Wednesday that the suspect's name was Abram Gutierrez, 36, of San Carlos.
The incident began around 3:20 p.m. Tuesday with a 911 call from a person who did not speak but a dispatcher heard a child screaming in the background before the caller hung up, according to the report.
