The Oregon Department of Justice says a Jefferson County Sheriff's deputy was justified in the fatal shooting of a man in Madras last February. Police had a long interaction with the suspect, Allan Warner Jr. Officers responded to a call about a fight outside of a motel. Warner was armed with a knife and refused commands. Multiple tasers and a less-lethal-shotgun failed to stop him. When he lunged at an officer, Deputy Anthony Maldonado fired five shots killing Warner. The DOJ determined criminal charges against the deputy were not warranted.
