COOS BAY, Ore. (AP) — Some new details have emerged in the shooting that left a Michigan man dead at an Oregon beach.
Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said Wednesday gunman Zachary Levi Brimhall fired more than 15 rounds from 100 yards away that hit the car occupied by David Jesse Hortman of Walker, Michigan.
But only one bullet hit Hortman, a shot in the side that killed him as he slept early Tuesday at Bastendorff Beach near Coos Bay.
Frasier says Brimhall shot five different cars at the beach 15 to 20 times each, and though three others were occupied, no one else was hurt. Brimhall then shot and killed himself.
Earlier, Brimhall had shot his father repeatedly after luring him to a remote location in the Coast Range claiming his car had broken down.
