Dozens of people driving in rush-hour traffic in Pasco yesterday witnessed police shoot and kill a man on Lewis Street near 10th Ave. The incident occurred around 5 p.m. when police were called to deal with a man acting erratically and throwing rocks at passing cars.

Witnesses say the man picked up a rock and appeared like he wanted to fight officers who responded to a disturbance call about 5 p.m. near Fiesta Foods. One witness told the Herald the man threw a large rock at a passing vehicle shortly before police arrived.

Police tried to shock him with a Taser, but it had little effect on him, said Ben Patrick, who was just yards away in the grocery store parking lot with his family when the shooting happened.

“The guy was trying to pull the Taser (prongs) out of his arm,” he said.

The man was Antonio Zambrano-Montes. The three officers involved have been placed on administrative leave.
