SPOKANE, Wash – What started as a call about someone breaking into cars ended with an exchange of gunfire and the suspect dead, according to Spokane Police.
It happened at 5th and Cannon just after 3:30 Saturday morning.
The victim of the car prowling said a man had broken into their car and, when confronted, pointed a gun at them.
According to Spokane Police, the suspected car prowler was still in the car and armed when officers arrived “and there was an exchange of gunfire” in which the suspect was shot. Police say despite lifesaving efforts, the suspect died at the scene.
The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office will now take over the investigation, as is the protocol in a police shooting. Spokane Police have not released the names of the officer involved.
