SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane County sheriff says one man has been fatally shot by a deputy in the city of Spokane Valley.

The sheriff’s office says the man drove recklessly and continued to hit parked cars, go into opposite lanes and swerve at high speed. Deputies tried to stop the driver with spike strips, but were unsuccessful. At one point the suspect drove toward a marked patrol car with two deputies inside. The sheriff’s office says one deputy fired his gun, hitting the suspect, who died at the scene.
