RAPID CITY, S.D. – One man is deceased as the result of a deputy-involved shooting following an unwanted subject call at a residence near the intersection of Radar Hill Road and Morris Lane Friday afternoon.

No law enforcement or bystanders were hurt during the situation.
Immediately following the shooting, the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office turned over the scene to assisting South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers and Rapid City Department officers.
