REEDSPORT, Ore. (AP) — The shooting by police of a Springfield murder suspect in Reedsport has been ruled justified. KEZI-TV reports a grand jury made the decision after hearing from a dozen witnesses to the police shooting of David Ruozi Jr. Douglas County district attorney Rick Wesenberg says Ruozi was suspected of shooting to death 70-year-old Richard Marshall. Authorities conducted a traffic stop involving Ruozi March 9 after an investigation into Marshall’s murder, and the shooting followed hours of negotiation. Wesenberg says Ruozi knew murder details that only the killer would know. The DA said the authorities on scene acted with professionalism and restraint and did everything they could to bring the situation to a peaceful end.
