AUBURN, Wash. (AP) – A sheriff’s deputy has been placed on leave after fatally shooting a man in Washington State.
King County sheriff’s officials say the shooting happened in Auburn around 3 p.m. Saturday.
A person waved down the deputy and reported seeing a man firing a gun in a nearby back yard.
Sheriff’s officials say the deputy spoke with a woman outside the house before the man came out and got into an altercation in which the deputy shot the man.
