“At some point during this altercation, the man pointed a gun through a window at a police officer. The police officer fired at the individual that was holding the gun, pointing it at him. I’m being told one round was fired. That’s that’s the best information I have at this time,” said Don Hendrick, Chief of the Rapid City Police Department.

The suspect later died at the hospital.

This is fourth officer-involved shooting in South Dakota this year.
