The Pasco Police Department has released a Critical Incident Community Briefing (#4) video that includes information related to an officer-involved shooting (OIS) on March 13, 2022, in the area of 6th Ave and W Lewis St.
The incident began at 11:40 a.m. when a 911 caller reported two males fighting in the street. Pasco officers arrived on the scene and found a male lying on the ground with apparent stab wounds. An officer rendered medical aid to the injured male. This male died of his injuries at the scene.
Officer Jones and Officer McClintock contacted the male who was armed with the knife. The male charged at the officers. Officers shot at the male, striking him with gunfire, stopping his aggression. Officers immediately rendered medical aid. The male who was shot was transported to a regional hospital by ambulance, where he later died of his injuries.
Special Investigations Unit took control of this investigation shortly after the OIS occurred. Additional information will come from SIU.
