A 34-year-old man was shot and killed in the Bly Mountain area east of Bonanza. The person who fired the weapon called the Klamath County Sheriff's Office, saying he'd shot the man in self-defense.

At approximately 8:45 am on Sunday, June 12, KCSO deputies along with personnel from the Klamath County Fire District 5 and Bonanza Ambulance Service were dispatched to the 5900 block of Flamingo Dr in the Bly Mountain area east of Bonanza.

The firefighters arrived first on the scene and began life-saving efforts, but were unable to revive 34-year-old Kyle Alan Majestic Sr. who succumbed to his injuries.

The responsible person told KCSO deputies that Majestic "came swinging at him with a dangerous weapon," a press release stated.

The incident remains under investigation and no arrests have been made. KCSO’s investigation is being assisted by the Klamath Falls Police Department, Oregon State Police, and the Klamath County District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with additional information is advised to contact the Klamath County District Attorney’s Office at 541-883-5147.
