SAN JOSE, Calif.
Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies say they responded to a
report of a disturbance from the Valley Medical Center campus in
San Jose Thursday. When they arrived, authorities say they
struggled with 26-year-old Edwin Rodriguez before Gary Berg, an
officer with the Campbell Police Department, used a Taser on him.
Authorities say Rodriguez was then taken into custody and found
to be unresponsive. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, and
he was later pronounced dead.
Berg has been placed on paid administrative leave, which
authorities say is standard in such cases.
