Virginia State Police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old boy who was shocked with a Taser by a Martinsville police officer.
 
The incident happened Thursday night, when Officer R.L. Wray was responding to a call for a possible fight at a duplex in the 300 block of Rives Road, according to a news release from Martinsville police.
 
Inside the apartment, the 17-year-old "moved rapidly toward Officer Wray in an offensive stance," the press release said.
 
Wray Tasered and handcuffed the 17-year-old, according to the press release. Minutes later, the boy, whose name has not been not released, was unresponsive.
 
Medical personnel took the boy to Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County, where he was pronounced dead.
