Police: Man Killed After He Hit 2 Officers With Rocks

 

 

 

 

 

 

” A homeless man who was shot and killed by officers at a busy intersection had thrown multiple rocks, hitting two officers, and had refused to put down other stones, authorities said Wednesday.

  Officers used a stun gun on the man, but it had no effect, Pasco Police Chief Bob Metzger said at a news conference. Because of his “threatening” behavior, officers fired their guns, he said.

  Metzger said he did not know whether a weapon was found.

  The man killed was 35-year-old Antonio Zambrano-Montes, whose last address was a Pasco homeless shelter, said Franklin County Coroner Dan Blasdel.

  Witnesses say the man was running away when he was shot. They told the Tri-City Herald  the man had run about half a block when he was killed about 5 p.m. Tuesday near the Fiesta Foods store.”
