A Forest Grove, Oregon man died after a confrontation with police.

Police responding to a suicide call were met by a man with a handgun who later grabbed a rifle and started shooting, said Rick LaManna, a spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

After the man starting shooting, police fired back, LaManna said.

A medical examiner and a chaplain both came to the scene of the incident, he said. The man's name has not released.

I lost a friend in a very similar situation.

It's too bad the suicidal nutcases don't spend more time shooting themselves and less shooting at responding officers.

There can be a fine line between suicidal and homicidal.

Sometimes there's just no accounting for stupidity...
