YACHATS, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police SWAT team members have fatally shot a man they say was armed with a rifle when they encountered him as they watched a house in a remote area on the Oregon coast.
The Register-Guard reports that the Lane County sheriff’s office identified the man killed late Thursday night as 18-year-old Samuel Mullane.
Troopers were assisting the Lincoln County sheriff’s office after deputies learned that several men reportedly involved in a violent mid-May assault near Yachats (YA-hots) might be found at the rural, forested property.
State police say a man and a woman inside the house surrendered several hours later.
