Ray Weaver

How they died

Suicide

Camas County Sheriff Keith Rast said his office got complaints about somebody matching Weaver's description driving recklessly near Fairfield--including reports that the driver had nearly run two other vehicles off the road. Deputy Michael "Buzz" Chapman at about noon was sent to find Weaver and have a talk with him, Rast said. Weaver was found by his 2000 GMC pickup and camper trailer--which he had parked near the Trapper's Inn, a resort about 25 miles north of Fairfield. Rast said it was reported that Chapman and Weaver had been talking for about two minutes when Weaver suddenly reached inside his pickup, grabbed the revolver and opened fire. He was shot and killed.
