Contact Marsha Swartz 686-3235 ^ -- I inter/national From Associated Press Reports N J Man jailed after siege COTTAGE GROVE — A 26-year-old man reportedly distraught over marriage troubles was charged with at tempted murder Monday after a 90-minute siege in which more than two dozen gunshots were fired from a downtown Cottage Grove tavern. Cottage Grove police iden tified the man as Brad Belcher, who recently had moved to Cot tage Grove from the Coos Bay area. The incident ended when the man left the tavern and shot himself in the head with a .357-magnum pistol. Police dispatcher Robin Herman said the bullet only grazed Belcher's forehead. He was treated for a minor head wound before be ing taken to the Lane County jail in Eugene. Police received a report from a patron at The Grove Tavern shortly after 1:30 p.m. saying a man had entered the tavern with a gun. Police responded as shots were fired inside the tavern. "I heard him hollering and he said he just wanted to kill himself,” said Linda Cooper, a tavern employee. "Not two minutes later I heard two shots and left the building." Police evacuated everyone from the tavern and from sur rounding businesses and cor doned off the area. In a news release, police said Belcher had telephoned a family member and said he was going to com mit suicide. Police said the man refused to come out of the tavern and fired 26 shots into buildings across the street over the next 1 Vi hours. No one was injured. At 3 p.m., the man left the front of the tavern, fired three or four shots into the air, then shot himself in the head, police said. "He stood on the street, then he opened his arms up, holding the gun off to one side," said Laura Hall, a news reporter for KNND radio who witnessed the conclusion of the incident. "At that point, he shot himself once in the head, staggered forward, and attempted to shoot himself a second time. At that time he fell to his knees, and then fell forward to the pavement." Police said the man had been involved in a marital dispute in Coos Bay. Gunmen kill Colombian BOGOTA, Colombia — Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla was assassinated Monday by two gunmen on a motorycle who shot him as his car slowed because of heavy traffic on an avenue in northern Bogota. Although left-wing guerrillas had launched a series of attacks over the past two days killing three policemen, there were in dications Lara Bonilla may have been murdered because of his strong campaign against illegal drug traffickers. Lara Bonilla's bodyguards in a trailing jeep pursued the gunmen, killing one and captur ing the other, according to of ficials of the Administrative Security Department. They did not identify the slain suspect or prisoner. The officials said Lara Bonilla was struck in the head three times when the gunmen attack ed at 7:30 p.m. as his limousine moved slowly through traffic. The chauffeur drove the wounded Cabinet member to the Shaio Clinic, where he died 10 minutes later. Lara Bonilla had initiated an energetic campaign against Col ombia's multi-million-dollar drug rings, and recent press reports said he had received death threats from the drug gangs. U.S. Ambassador Lewis Tambs gave Lara Bonilla a bulletproof vest because of the threats, but the minister told reporters recently that he rarely wore the vest becuase it was uncomfor table. He apparently was not wearing the vest when he was slain. No group asserted responsili ty for the murder. Police link murders PORTLAND — Portland police detectives are investigating the possiblity that four killings over the last 13 months in this city may were committed by the same person, authorities say. Portland police spokesman Dave Simpson and State Medical Examiner William Brady said Monday that the murders may be linked, but there is no firm proof yet to indicate they are. All four victims were black women between 16 and 24 years of age, three died as the result of asphyxiation or strangling, all of the bodies were found in north Portland, and all were street people. Simpson said five homicide detectives have been assigned to the case. He said Portland detectives are in communica tion with the Green River Task Force in Washington state but there is no indication that the two series of homicides are connected. Belli refuses Downs case EUGENE — Noted San Fran cisco attorney Melvin Belli has decided not to defend a Spr ingfield woman accused of kill ing her daughter and of trying to kill her other daughter and son, Belli's office announced Monday. He had earlier agreed to de fend Elizabeth Downs for a fee of $25,000. However, trial dates in the case conflicted with his schedule.
