ROSEBURG (AP) — Authorities say a man shot after a four-hour standoff at the Douglas County Fairgrounds was 46-year-old Donald Lowry of Myrtle Creek.

Police say they were investigating a suspicious vehicle at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Sunday when they saw Lowry with a rifle and a handgun, appearing nervous.

Officers tried to stop him and get him to surrender, but he brandished a weapon.

Five state troopers and one Roseburg police officer shot and killed him.
