The Oregon State Police has released details of an Interstate 84 traffic stop on Monday that resulted in the driver of the vehicle shooting himself in the head. The OSP says at about 1:10 Monday afternoon a trooper stopped a reported reckless driver on eastbound Interstate 84 at milepost 103 in Sherman County. After stopping, the 42 year old male driver exited the vehicle armed with a handgun. The trooper asked the driver to drop the gun, but the driver continued to walk to the rear of his vehicle and shot himself in the head, collapsing in the ditch and out of sight. The trooper held cover over the subject until his backup officers arrived, who then approached the subject and rendered medical care. The driver was transported to the hospital in The Dalles and eventually flown by air ambulance to a Portland area hospital, where he continues to receive medical care. His condition is unknown.
