Report On Pasco Shooting In Hands Of Prosecutor

PASCO, Wash. (AP) — The Franklin County, Washington, prosecutor says he expects to receive a special investigative unit's report Thursday in the Feb. 10 shooting death of an unarmed Hispanic man.

Officers from area police agencies have spent nearly four months investigating the death of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, who was fatally shot by Pasco police officers.

Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant will review that report. In a statement late Wednesday, Sant said he plans to outline Thursday what comes next in the review process.

Three officers fired 17 times at Zambrano-Montes during a confrontation at a Pasco intersection. The shooting, captured on video, led to weeks of protests in the central Washington city.

Also upcoming is a coroner's inquest. Sant ultimately will decide whether criminal charges should be filed against the officers.
