OREGON COAST Police officer shoots armed driver near Reedsport Man critically wounded after Highway 101 vehicle fire Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 23, 2014 at 12:09 PM Updated Dec 23, 2014 at 10:53 PM By The Associated Press Posted Dec. 23, 2014 at 12:09 PM Updated Dec 23, 2014 at 10:53 PM » Social News PORTLAND — Oregon State Police say a Reedsport police officer shot and critically wounded the armed driver of a station wagon that caught fire on U.S. Highway 101 on the Oregon coast near Winchester Bay. State police Lt. Josh Brooks says the wounded man was reported to be armed with a handgun. The unidentified man was taken Tuesday morning to a Reedsport hospital. The officer who fired was not hurt. He has not been identified either. Brooks says police believe the Subaru station wagon had been the subject of multiple driving complaints before it caught fire. The Reedsport officer, two Douglas County sheriff's deputies and a state Justice Department investigator had arrived at the scene after a school bus driver spotted the vehicle fire, stopped to assist the driver, then backed away and called for help when he saw the man had a gun. There were no children on the school bus. The shooting is under investigation.
