Collin Osborn

How they died

Deadly force

Spokane Valley police officers were called at 9:08 a.m. by an employee at a business at the Montgomery Business Park. The worker reported that a person known to him was banging on the windows of the internet sales business and attempting to enter. The person, who was the ex-boyfriend of the victim's current girlfriend, was intoxicated and armed with a pistol. Deputies, who are contracted to work as Spokane Valley police officers, were responding to the call when the victim called dispatch to say that the man was now shooting a handgun. The two deputies engaged and shot and killed the man. They radioed at 9:14 that he had been shot and had crashed into a tree.
