Mexico condemns fatal shooting by police in Washington state

"Mexico's government strongly condemns incidents in which lethal force is used disproportionately," the ministry said in a statement late on Thursday. "These unfortunate events damage communities and they erode confidence in the authorities."

Speaking in Mexico City on Friday afternoon, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto reiterated the condemnation of the disproportionate use of lethal force and said he had instructed officials to support Zambrano-Montes' family.

The police department said three officers arrived on Tuesday afternoon at a grocery store parking lot where Zambrano-Montes threw rocks at them.

Metzger said they first used a stun gun to try to incapacitate the suspect after he would not obey commands to surrender, then opened fire and killed him.

In a 22-second video filmed by a motorist and posted online, Zambrano-Montes is seen running away from the officers before he was killed.

The man appears to throw a rock, several shots are heard, and he then crosses the street. He turns to face the officers, raising his right arm as if to throw another object, when they open fire again, according to the video.
