Gun-Wielding Guatemalan Under Deportation Order Killed in Standoff With Police in Georgia
An illegal alien from Guatemala was shot dead after he pointed a gun at officers in Georgia, authorities say.
The harrowing incident unfolded just after 10:30 p.m. on Monday night in Marietta.
Cobb County Police Department officers responded to reports of possible shots fired at a residence and quickly established a perimeter, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
A man identified as Hermelindo Estuardo Morente Tista, 27, exited the house while brandishing a firearm.
Officers repeatedly ordered Morente Tista to drop the weapon, but he refused to comply.
After Morente Tista pointed the gun at officers, they opened fire, killing him, GBI says.
