Forks, Washington

From the April 5, 2006 Peninsula Daily News:
FORKS -- Clallam County sheriff's deputies are investigating a fatal shooting Tuesday morning that they think was an act of self-defense.

One man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with a gunshot wound to the head, and died, Clallam County Undersheriff Rich Sill said Tuesday night.

The altercation occurred at about 10:50 a.m., according to a PenCom 9-1-1 dispatcher.

Initial reports from the scene at 41 King's Ranch Road on the east side of Forks said the dispute between the two men involved a knife and a pistol.

The shooter was being interviewed by Sheriff's detectives, Sill said.

He did not release the names of the two men.

"There is a lot of investigation involved and they are just taking their time," Sill said.
