Matthew Tuan Tran, a 22-year-old Anaheim man, was fatally shot shortly after 7 p.m. Friday when officers responded to a disturbance outside the entrance to the station at 150 N. Euclid St., La Habra police said in a news release.

It’s also unclear how many officers were involved and how many shots were fired at Tran, who died at the scene.
An officer struck by gunfire was taken to the UC Irvine Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition Monday, described as being “alert and recovering from his injuries.”
