VANCOUVER,VAS Community Wash. (AP) — Police in Vancouver, Washington, fatally shot a man for the second time this month.
Police officers shot a Vancouver man on Monday after authorities said he pointed what appeared to be a gun at them, The Columbian reported. The Clark County Medical Examiner on Thursday identified the man as 40-year-old Jonathan West Nelson. He died of multiple gunshot wounds.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office, which is leading an investigating into the shooting, said several people approached a Vancouver officer early Monday, reporting that a man had pointed a gun at them near a McDonald’s parking lot.
Responding officers released a police dog when Nelson didn’t stop walking as they commanded, investigators said.
Nelson then allegedly pointed what appeared to be a gun at the officers, and four officers fired and hit him, according to the sheriff’s office. Nelson was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Vancouver Police Department said the police dog was shot in its tail and underwent surgery. Who shot the dog wasn’t clear. Authorities did not say Nelson fired a weapon.
The names of the four officers have not been released.
On June 8, Vancouver police fatally shot Vadim V. Sashchenko while responding to a call about an aggressive dog.
