The federal government said the man who killed a sheriff’s deputy and wounded a police officer in a central Washington state shootout was in the United States illegally.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said on March 21 that the suspect, 29-year-old Juan Manuel Flores Del Toro, who also died as a result of the shootout, was a citizen of Mexico.
