At about 6 a.m., Edinburg police responded to a home along the 1700 block of Orlando Street in reference to a domestic disturbance call.

Police say when they arrived, an assault was in progress and a male suspect charged at the officer. That's when, police say, the officer fired his weapon in self-defense. 

The suspect was then taken to a local hospital, where he died due to his injuries. He has not been identified. 

The officer was not injured and was placed on administrative leave. 

The ongoing investigation has been turned over to the Texas Rangers.
