Three police officers in Washington state who fatally shot a man who threw rocks at them in February will not be charged, the prosecutor in charge of the inquiry said Wednesday.

Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Shawn Sant said Wednesday that an investigation found no basis under state law to criminally charge the officers....

Antonio Zambrano-Montes, a 35-year-old Mexican national, was shot and killed near an intersection in Pasco shortly after 5 p.m. The shooting was captured on video taken by bystanders, and inspired protests and criticism from the Mexican government that the use of force was excessive....

In a contentious meeting in announcing that no charges would be filed, some in the crowd did not accept Sant's explanation, noting that 17 shots were fired. Some shouted "no justice, no peace!"

edit: How far could someone throw a 5-pound rock?
