Officer Saved Life Of Man Shot In Fatal Pasco Shooting

SEATTLE (AP) — One of the officers who killed an immigrant farmworker in Pasco in a shooting that helped fuel the nationwide debate over police use of force had dragged the man away from his burning rental home just weeks earlier.
Documents obtained by The Associated Press under public records requests reveal that Antonio Zambrano-Montes was sitting on the ground in January in a meth-addled trance near the fire when Officer Adam Wright found him.
Weeks later, Zambrano-Montes was shot as he ran away from officers in the eastern Washington city of Pasco and suddenly turned around with his arms outstretched. That Feb. 10 encounter was caught on video and prompted months of angry protests.
The documents obtained by the AP shed new light on Zambrano-Montes' run-ins with police and his erratic behavior.
