MOSES LAKE - A Moses Lake man was shot and killed Monday night in an officer-involved shooting after a disturbance call on South Belair Drive.
About 5 p.m., Moses Lake police responded to a disturbance in the 2000 block of South Belair Drive near South Division Street. Police reportedly confronted a male at a residence and an officer shot the suspect, according to Chief Dave Ruffin.
The man was transported to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake where he later died. The identity of the man was not available Monday night.
Ruffin said no officers were injured in the shooting. The name of the officer involved was not released Monday night.
The incident is being investigated by the Columbia Basin Investigative Team, who were on scene about 7 p.m. Monday.
