CHEHALIS – An autopsy was scheduled for today on a man shot and killed by deputies who say he pointed a weapon at them when they attempted to detain him on a warrant related to child sex crimes, on a dead-end road in East Lewis County.

It happened about 1:15 a.m. on Sunday in between Glenoma and Randle, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.

The deputy and reserve deputy involved were placed on administrative leave per protocol while the investigation takes place, according to sheriff’s Chief Deputy Bruce Kimsey.

According to Kimsey, the two were on patrol when they located a suspicious vehicle parked on the 100 block of Rainey Creek Road. When they checked the sole occupant’s driving status, they also learned he had a no-bail warrant  out of Pierce County for first-degree child rape and two counts of second-degree child molestation, Kimsey said in a press release.

As deputies requested the man to step out of the vehicle, the man brandished and pointed a weapon at the deputies, according to Kimsey.

Both deputies fired their duty weapons at the man, to end the threat, Kimsey stated. Aid was rendered, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation into the shooting is being conducted by a multi-agency Critical Incident Investigation Team. CIIT is comprised of investigators from Thurston, Mason, Grays Harbor and Pacific counties, as well as the Washington State Patrol. Kimsey would not specify what sort of weapon the deceased had used.

The Lewis County Coroner’s Office is responsible for releasing the name of the deceased.
