Authorities still quiet on Powell police shooting

Authorities still have not released the name of a man who was shot and killed by police officers last Thursday. Few details have been released about the incident. The shooting occurred at the Park Motel at around 3:30 a.m on Thursday. It marked the second time in less than five months that a law enforcement officer had been involved in a fatal shooting in Park County. Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt said last week that officers arrived at the gunman was armed with a .357 Magnum when they arrived, and he fired multiple times from his room. The man also said he had taken hostages. Police exchange gunfire with the man throughout the morning before he was shot in his room at 7:25 a.m. He was taken to a Powell-area hospital, where he died a short time later.
