Man who fired at officers on West Plains and Liberty Park found dead after standoff
A man who fired at officers on the West Plains and in East Central Spokane early Monday was found dead after a standoff with police, said Spokane police Officer John O’Brien.
The incident began about 1:30 a.m. when a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation on Sprague Avenue just north of Northern Quest Casino, according to a news release from the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
The driver of the car, with a license plate that reads “HUNNYZ,” did not stop, the sheriff’s office said. The BIA officer along with Airway Heights and Kalispell Tribal police officers responded to assist in the car chase that continued east on U.S. Highway 2 toward Interstate 90.
Officers told dispatchers that the suspect fired several shots at them from his vehicle and was trying to run cars off the road near Flint Road.
