A Butte County sheriff’s deputy acted in self-defense when he fatally shot a man who had threatened county code enforcement officers and brandished a gun at a motorist, according to a report issued by the Butte County District Attorney’s Office.

The report on the investigation into the Aug. 22 shooting of 56-year-old Mark Aaron Jensen outside his home in the 1900 block of Durham-Dayton Highway was released Monday.
