Madras man has only minor injuries after brief pursuit, hitting officer's car
MADRAS, Ore. (KTVZ) – A Madras police sergeant was justified in firing a dozen shots into the windshield of an oncoming driver, who received only minor injuries, because “it was reasonable for him to believe” that his life was in danger, as was another officer whose car he’d hit, Jefferson County District Attorney Steven Leriche said Tuesday.
Leriche said he had concluded his review of the officer-involved shooting last Wednesday in the 400 block of Northeast Oak Street that followed a pursuit of Jordan Abbe, 30, of Madras, who was treated at nearby St. Charles Madras, then jailed on charges including attempt to elude police, attempted assault on a public safety officer and unlawful use of a weapon.
