By ALEX BRUELL and ROSE LUNDY The Daily News Law enforcement offi cers Sunday night shot and killed a suspect who is believed to have killed Cowlitz County sheriff’s deputy Justin DeR- osier nearly 24 hours earlier, Cowlitz County Sheriff Brad Thurman said . The suspect, whose iden- tity was not made public, was seen tromping out of the woods wet and dirty with a fi rearm on Spencer Creek Road. Two lawmen shot him and he was declared dead at the scene, Thurman said. The shooting took place around 7 p.m. and neither offi cer involved was injured. Investigators had identi- fi ed the suspect after inter- viewing two brothers, one of whom was seen coming out Visibly emotional , Cowlitz County Undersher- iff Darren Ullmann said the fallen deputy’s daughter is “always going to know what an incredible man her father was.” “Most of us have known him most of his life. There were few cops who wanted to be a cop more than Justin did. He loved his job. He was incredibly good at it. And as you can imagine, as I’m obvi- ously showing, this is very personal for our agency.... I had a lot of hope and plans for Justin. I saw him working his way up in this department very rapidly.... Justin was a bull in a china shop.... He had a presence that couldn’t be overlooked. He will be with us forever. And he will be truly missed.” More than a dozen mem- bers of the Patriot Guard TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 55 47 43 Mostly cloudy with a couple of showers Mainly cloudy ALMANAC Last Clouds and sun with a stray shower A morning shower; otherwise, mostly cloudy 56 44 Cooler with periods of rain Salem 44/60 Newport 45/54 First May 4 Baker 37/57 Burns 35/56 Klamath Falls 31/55 Lakeview 30/52 Ashland 40/61 REGIONAL CITIES Astoria / Port Docks Time 5:42 a.m. 6:12 p.m. Low 1.6 ft. -0.1 ft.

Sarah Bue, a Kelso res- ident who attended high school with Justin DeRosier, came to the vigil with her 10-year-old son, Elijah, to support the DeRosier family. “I can’t imagine what his family is going through. I have known him a long time. I feel so bad for his wife and little girl. It really hits home for me,” Bue said. The vigil was arranged by Katie Fowler, of Longview, at the instigation of her 9-year-old son, Chase Sanger, after they discussed the case in the car on the way home. “He said, ‘Mom, we have to do something.’ This is what we do. There are bad people out there. This just shows that we won’t back down. Our community is strong.” Allan Carl Benson FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT riders and American Legion appeared by the sheriff’s offi ce Sunday afternoon to form a fl ag line in honor of DeRosier. About 200 to 300 peo- ple, many of them con- nected to law enforcement, huddled at Martin Dock at Lake Sacajawea on Sun- day evening to honor DeR- osier. They sang “Amazing Grace” and remembered the deputy. “I never met anyone who didn’t like him,” Layne DeRosier, his uncle, told a reporter, describing his nephew as someone who had a big personality who wanted to be an offi cer since watching “Cops” as a boy. “He was a true hero, but he wouldn’t want anyone to call him that. (To him), it was his job. … Heaven is a much safer place with him Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.
