A man was fatally shot by a Phoenix officer after throwing rocks outside a police station Saturday morning.
Officials said that the 30-year-old man initially threw rocks at an officer's cruiser near the precinct on 39th Avenue and Cactus Roads when the incident occurred, according to KNXV-TV.
The officer attempted to make contact with the man, but he was already at the police station.
Another officer was leaving the station on foot to help the initial officer when the man then threw a rock at the front door of the station, shattering a window.
More officers responded when the man picked up another rock and threw it an officer. The rock bounced off of a tree and struck the officer, who was treated at the scene.
An officer then shot the man, who was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The incident is currently under investigation.
