PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say a fugitive from Indiana has died of a gunshot wound in a sparsely populated area of Oregon.
Oregon State Police didn’t further identify the man or say what he was wanted for.
He died of a head wound Wednesday near Burns in southeastern Harney County.
State police Lt. Gregg Hastings said an FBI agent and local officers who had been tipped off about a fugitive drove to the man’s place, but he fled in a pickup truck.
Sheriff David Glerup and Sgt. Brian Needham fired at the pickup as the fugitive drove away.
