A Riverdale man was fatally shot by police who were responding to the man's home for a neighbor dispute in the south suburb on Saturday, police said.

Police were called to the 14300 block of Michigan Avenue in Riverdale on Saturday for a dispute someone was having with a neighbor, police said. When police responded, an officer encountered an armed person firing a weapon at another person, Riverdale Police Chief William McHenry said in a press release.

The officer ordered the person to drop the weapon but he refused and the officer, who was fearing for his own safety, fired his weapon fatally hitting the suspect, McHenry said.
