An armed man was shot and killed by law-enforcement officers in San Ramon early today after he stormed into a convenience store, spent more than an hour inside drinking alcohol, then pointed his gun at police after taking one last swig of beer, authorities said.

The suspect, a man in his 20s whose name has not been released, was shot by numerous officers outside the 7-Eleven store at 2500 San Ramon Valley Blvd. at about 3:30 a.m., said Jimmy Lee, spokesman for the Contra Costa County sheriff’s office.

The incident began at 2:10 a.m. when the man came into the store, showed his gun to the clerk and told him to get out, Lee said.
