A city police officer fatally shot a man in Washington Heights in the back after he ran from police and threatened them with a pistol, officials said Saturday.

Ronald Battle, 25, who relatives said had traveled from North Carolina to visit his mother at the Ralph J. Rangel Houses, an eight-building complex on Harlem River Drive, died in a grassy area there late Friday after a short chase by police. It was the third police shooting of a suspect in the last two weeks.

Paul Browne, deputy commissioner of public information, said Battle did not respond to "repeated directives to drop the gun," adding that the shooting appeared to be within department guidelines. A loaded 9-mm automatic handgun was recovered at the scene.
