Six police officers, sheriff's deputies and state troopers remain on paid administrative leave Monday after fatally shooting a man who authorities say fired at them first on the Oregon Coast on Saturday.

The officers have been identified by the Coos County District Attorney's Office as North Bend Police Detective Ryan Doyle; Coquille Police Officer Justin Gray; Coos County Deputy Theran Coleman; Coos County Deputy Aaron Whittenberg; Oregon State Trooper Ben Cordes; and Oregon State Trooper Shaelon Ross.

The shooting of 65-year-old Robert C. Foster in a field behind a church in Bandon occurred after a nearly 4 1/2-hour standoff between Foster and police. Officers repeatedly ordered him to drop his shotgun and surrender, and he repeatedly ordered them to kill him, according to Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier. It appears Foster intended to provoke police officers into shooting and killing him, Frasier said.

The incident started when Foster called 911 on Saturday from his pickup parked behind the church and said he planned to set off explosives, Frasier said. Police officers who arrived noted Foster had a shotgun, and he claimed that milk jugs and a plastic trash can in the back of his truck were filled with gasoline.

At some point, Foster fired one shot toward officers and then was fired upon, according to the district attorney. He died at the scene.

Frasier said Foster tried to kill himself three weeks earlier on a bridge in the area, but was tackled before he could jump by the Bandon police chief and county deputy who responded to the scene. He was then taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.

An autopsy on Foster is scheduled for Thursday.
