SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Police in Spokane say a suspected car prowler is dead after exchanging gunfire with an officer.
The incident occurred early Saturday after someone reported a person was in their car and had pointed a gun at them. Police say officers found a person still in the car and armed with a firearm.
They say the suspect and an officer exchanged fire, but did not specifically say if the officer killed the man.
Further investigation will include body cameras worn by officers. Police say they attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful. No information about the person has been released.
