On 5/18/2011 a young man lost it and threatened several people in his home in Selah, WA just North of Yakima.
He was shooting a shotgun and had a pistol from the house and then turned his fire upon police once they arrived.
At one point he was running around outside in the dark and was eventually killed by YPD SWAT.
The reason I brought this to light as we have had so many negative deadly force encounters involving Police in Washington State I thought in retro spec to post the good if such a thing can be good.
This is the first time in it's inception in 1977 were YPD SWAT had taken a life and in this matter with no other choice at hand.
Likely it was suicide by Cop.
