had been reported stolen earlier that
day. Additionally, the officers were able to
observe that a man standing next to the
vehicle, later identified as Beck, had a gun
on his left hip.
As police approached the vehicle Beck
got into the driver’s seat. He failed to com-
ply with commands and began shooting at
the officers, who returned fire. Beck then
drove away from the scene, going south on
River Road, while police pursued him.
During the pursuit, Becky Dietzel, 64,
was struck and killed as she attempted to
walk across the street at the intersection of
River Road and Cummings. Beck contin-
ued driving until Salem Police were able to
use a tactical maneuver to stop the vehicle
near Home Depot on Cherry Avenue.
At that location police fired a single
shot and, after a standoff, Beck eventu-
ally surrendered and was transported to
Salem Hospital due to multiple gunshot
wounds. No police officers were injured
