SHELTON — The Mason County sheriff’s office says a review of a fatal shooting Jan. 2 has cleared a deputy.
The sheriff’s office says two deputies responded to a report of a suicide attempt thinking the man was critically wounded. Instead they found a man with a minor wound and a large caliber hand gun.
When he threatened to shoot a deputy, Tim Elliott, 53, was shot.
A review by a regional investigation team and prosecutors determined Sgt. Trevor Severance did not violate any state law.
