SPOKANE, Wash — The two Spokane police officers involved in a deadly Hillyard shooting that left one man dead have been identified.
The man, later identified as 41-year-old Robert Bradley, died after he was shot by police on the night of Sept. 4.
Police said they received a call around 10 p.m. from a person who said a neighbor was in their yard on East Wabash Avenue with an AR-15-style rifle.
Officers responded from multiple directions. When they arrived, police said they asked the man to lower their weapon. Officials say he did not comply. SPD says the suspect was shot at least two times.
The suspect was taken to the hospital but died. No officers were injured.
The officers involved in the deadly shooting were identified as Detective Trevor Walker and Corporal Chris Johnson. SPD did not release a photo of Walker due to him working as an undercover police officer for the SPD investigative unit.
SPD said police received a call indicating an anti-harassment order had been issued and needed to be served. Officers responded but the neighbor had left the location before officers arrived.
Police later received the other call at 10 p.m. that the neighbor had returned.
Police said that based on reports of the court order and the armed suspect in the caller's yard, multiple officers responded to the scene.
The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings. The Spokane Independent Investigative Response team (SIIR) has taken over the investigation.
SPD said the officers involved were wearing body cameras at the time of the shooting.
