New details surface in officer-involved shooting on Interstate 5 in Linn County
COBURG, Ore. – New details have surfaced in a deadly officer-involved shooting last month in which one man died and a woman was injured. Court documents provide details on what investigators knew when they responded to a Shell gas station in Coburg near Interstate 5 on April 28 where police found a victim suffering from a gunshot wound in the front seat of a car. A search warrant affidavit filed in Lane County Circuit Court said that the male victim, Michael Glover, was in his 2001 grey Toyota Camry with his girlfriend and her brother, who is also Glover’s best friend, when Glover noticed his license plates were gone. Glover reported the theft just after 1 p.m. and less than two hours later, when Glover was at the Coburg Shell station, he spotted his plates on another older green Camry, the police officer’s report said.
