PORTLAND — An Oregon man killed in a shootout with sheriff’s deputies had been awaiting trial on domestic violence charges involving his wife, authorities said.
A medical examiner ruled Wednesday that Nathaniel Macalevy, 44, of Boring, Ore., died from a shot fired by law enforcement.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said a SWAT team responded Christmas night after Tammie Macalevy reported that her husband was heavily armed, had violated a restraining order and was on her property in Sandy — southeast of Portland.
Court records show Macalevy was awaiting a February trial on charges of assault and harassment in a domestic violence case involving his wife of 20 years. Records show divorce proceedings began after the July arrest.
