Police have revealed new details in a carjacking and shooting spree in Washington state that ended with an armed assailant shot dead by a citizen with a concealed carry permit.
The 47-year-old Oakville man who shot and killed the suspect outside the Tumwater Walmart on Sunday is reportedly an area pastor.The suspect, 44-year-old Tim O. Day, was shot moments after he fired multiple times at a man whose vehicle he was trying to carjack in the Walmart parking lot.
The pastor, who also has medical emergency training, provided first aid to the critically wounded man before he was airlifted to a Seattle hospital.
The gunman had earlier carjacked a vehicle and drove it to the Tumwater Walmart in an apparent attempt to steal ammunition. Day entered the store and made his way to a locked ammunition case in the sporting goods section, according to The Olympian. He then fired shots at the case to access its contents, and made his way out of the store.
Day then tried to carjack several cars before being shot and killed by the Oakville pastor.
