VANCOUVER, Wash. – A man was shot and killed by police in Vancouver early Friday morning.
The incident began just before midnight, when a resident called 9-1-1 to report a neighbor was threatening to hurt another neighbor.
Another 9-1-1 call then came in that the same man had fired a gun into the air and had slashed a neighbor’s tires.
When law enforcement from multiple agencies arrived, they say the man ignored police commands, threatened to shoot deputies, and fired a high-powered rifle several times, including shattering the windshield of an armored police vehicle.
Police eventually returned fire and killed the man.
What happened remains under investigation.
