Chew on this ya liberal bastards! Give our coppers guns!
TUALATIN, Ore. (AP) - A Washington County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man who broke into a woman's apartment Sunday morning, the second fatal shooting involving the sheriff's office in just over a month.
Authorities say the deputy fired after Taser shocks and bean-bag rounds failed to slow the intruder and the man tried to reach inside a patrol car for a weapon.
A Sheriff's Spokesman says the incident started when a woman awoke to find the intruder standing by her bed.
She screamed, grabbed her cell phone and ran into her young daughter's bedroom.
The man followed her into the room and began attacking her, but she reportedly fought back and was able to phone 911 and avoid serious injury.
The woman says her daughter, 8, joined in the battle by repeatedly punching the intruder in the face.
She says action by her daughter allowed her to get the upper hand in the attack and that at one point she had her hands around the man's neck and was strangling him.
She was also able to get a knife from her kitchen.
The suspect, identified as Jordan Laird Case, 19,eventually left the home where he was confronted by police, who used high-voltage stun weapons and less-lethal beanbag rounds to no effect.
When Case reached inside a police car to get a shotgun, the officer opened fire, hitting Case multiple times. Case died at the scene.
Case was identified by a citizen who saw the drawing of a tattoo that was released Monday.
No further details about Mr. Case are available at this time. His next of kin have been notified.
