A white police officer fatally shot an apparently unarmed African-American in a third such incident across the United States in less than a week.

The shooting took place at a parking lot near an apartment complex in the suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

The African-American was acting erratically at the time of the shooting and appeared to be mentally ill. He was knocking on doors and crawling around without any clothes on.

The African-American ran at the police officer, when he arrived at the scene following a call from a local resident. The naked man refused to stop, prompting the officer to fire twice.

The DeKalb County Police have not released the names of the deceased or the officer, who killed him. An investigation into the shooting is underway.
