Deputies found him slumped in a vehicle in Midland about 2am, boxed him in, then fired after he drove at a deputy, the Pierce County Force Investigation Team said.

Residents reported him seeking help and entering homes before leaving when confronted. A three-and-a-half-hour K9 and drone search failed to find him, and PCFIT is investigating the officer-involved shooting.
