The Sheriff in Washington County is standing by his deputies in a shooting back in September. Reports are, 18-year-old Lukus Glenn (a student at Tigard High) was drunk and violent when officers arrived on the scene. He had broken in windows and a door and was wielding a knife. His parents (reportedly) felt safe as long as Glenn was NOT in the house.

Officers tried to talk to Glenn and fired six bean bag rounds (hitting him five times) trying to subdue him. Glenn did NOT stop and instead ran for the door to his parents house.

At that point, deputies fired, killing him.

The Sheriff's report backs up findings already released by the District Attorney that says Deputies did everything in their power to end the situation peacefully including opening a dialogue, demanding 50+ times that Glenn drop the weapon and accessing less-lethal munitions.

The Glenn family disagrees with the findings. Their attorney says facts have changed through the investigation including the location of deputies. They may file a law suit over the incident.

**Note: Deputies tell me that the typical reaction to being hit once with a bean bag is collapse. The only time an individual is known to continue after being struck is if he or she can completely block out the intense pain (often aided by substances like alcohol or narcotics). Not to imply that such was the case here, simply passing on what deputies said.
