KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — A man accused of fatally shooting two people at a Klamath Falls apartment has been returned to jail following a stay at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem.
Matthew Avina-Norris was sent to the mental hospital for treatment after he was deemed unfit to stand trial.
An official report on his status is pending, but Klamath County DA Ed Caleb told radio station KFLS that Avina-Norris wouldn’t have been returned to jail if doctors didn’t consider him able to aid in his defense.
Avina-Norris is accused in the 2007 shooting deaths of David Kitts and Marissa Orlow. A third victim, Melissa Ann Kitts, was shot but survived.
