YUBA CITY, Calif. -- Authorities say a visit by a U.S. Census worker turned deadly when Yuba City officers shot and killed a woman they say was armed with a shotgun.

A Yuba City police spokeswoman says officers responding to the home around 9 p.m. Thursday shot 67-year-old Victoria Roger-Vasselin when she refused to put down the shotgun and advanced towards the officers.

Spokeswoman Shawna Pavey says police had gone to the home after getting a call that a census worker had been threatened with a gun.

When officers arrived, they arrested another person at the home, 51-year-old Lionel Craig Patterson, on suspicion of assault with a firearm on a peace officer.

Pavey says Roger-Vasselin was shot after she came outside the house with the shotgun and refused orders to put the gun down.

From what I've been reading about this elsewhere, the reports say that the woman told the census worker she din't want to participate in the census, and the census worker pressed the issue. One article also mentioned that the census worker was wearing a badge?
