When police responded to the incident, a confrontation ensued, and police opened fire when Montalvo grabbed some rocks and charging at one of the officers. Montalvo was shot in the chest but survived. He was later charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and trespassing.
