PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police investigators looking into the force’s third fatal shooting this year say an officer had backed 20 feet away before a driver shot and wounded him.
The police released the results Tuesday of their investigation into the fatal shooting of Keaton Otis on May 12.
The findings say officer Christopher Burley tried unsuccessfully to pull Otis from his car after a traffic stop and then retreated.
The investigators say Otis grabbed a gun from the glove box and fired at Burley, striking him twice in the legs.
