Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier says a North Bend police detective, a Coquille police offi- cer, two Coos County deputies and two state troopers all returned fire after 65-year-old Robert Foster fired a shot. The shooting occurred after a more than four-hour standoff between Foster and police Saturday. Frasier says officers repeatedly ordered Foster to drop his shotgun and surrender, and he ordered them to kill him. The prosecutor says Foster intended to provoke offi- cers into killing him, noting that he had attempted sui- cide last month. The Coos Bay Police Department is investigating the shooting.

The body of North Ogden Mayor Brent Tay- lor was returned to Amer- ican soil after the Army National Guard major was shot to death last weekend by an Afghan commando he was training. The father of seven had implored Americans in his final Facebook post to vote. The post became widely shared online and received more attention Tuesday as his widow talked about Taylor’s service in Afghan- istan that coincided with recent parliamentary elec- tions there. Her comments were televised nationally on the same day that mil- lions of Americans turned out to vote. “It seems only fitting that Brent, who in death now represents so much greater than any of our own individual lives, has come home to U.S. soil in a flag-draped casket on our Election Day,” Jennie Taylor told reporters after Brent Taylor’s flag-draped coffin arrived at Dover Air force Base in Delaware. “Brent may have died on Afghan soil but he died for the success of freedom and democracy in both our countries,” she added.

His death leaves behind his wife, Jennie, and their seven children, ranging from 11 months to 13 years old. Taylor’s post, draw- ing a connection between democracy abroad and at home, has been seen and shared thousands of times. “It was beautiful to see over four million Afghan men and women brave threats and deadly attacks to vote in Afghanistan’s first parliamentary elec- tions in eight years. The strong turnout, despite the attacks and challenges, was a success for the long-suf- fering people of Afghan- istan and for the cause of human freedom,” he wrote. “As the USA gets ready to vote in our own election next week, I hope everyone back home exercises their precious right to vote. And that whether the Republi- cans or the Democrats win, that we all remember that we have far more as Amer- icans that unites us than divides us.” Taylor, a military intel- ligence officer with Joint Force Headquarters, served two tours in Iraq and was on his second tour in Afghanistan. Taylor had become mayor in 2013, and had a local hero’s farewell when he was being deployed last January. Hundreds of res- idents of North Ogden, about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City, lined the street to see him off as police escorted him and his family around the commu- nity of about 17,000. Utah Gov. Gary Her- bert said Taylor “was there to help. He was a leader. He loved the people of Afghanistan ... This is a sad day for Utah, for America.”
