DA: Eluding suspect shot eight times by police

"I may also announce my legal conclusions as they pertain to this incident," Frasier said in the release. 

According to Frasier earlier this week, Eric Sweet, of Coos Bay, pointed the rifle at one of the police officers who responded to his residence at 475 Johnson Avenue after an earlier pursuit by police on a charge of driving with a suspended license. The pursuit was called off for safety reasons earlier that day and officers went to his house to arrest him on charges of driving with a suspended license and felony eluding police. Shots were fired from an officer with the Coos Bay Police Department, the Confederated Tribal Police and Oregon State Police. Sweet was pronounced dead at the scene.
