MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A grand jury determined there was no criminal wrongdoing when a Jackson County sheriff’s detective and Oregon State Police trooper fatally shot an Eagle Point man who brandished a handgun at officers during a standoff.

District Attorney Mark Huddleston of Jackson County says jurors deliberated less than five minutes Wednesday before deciding the April 30 shooting was justified.

The two officers fired five shots and all of them hit 34-year-old Adam Elsman Wehinger.
