Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during domestic violence call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

At approximately 6:41 p.m. on July 9, 2021, deputies from the Lewis County Sheriff's Office, along with officers from the Winlock Police Department, responded to a domestic violence call at a residence in the 100 block of Marsyla Heights Drive in Winlock, Washington. The call involved Michael J. Petit, who had reportedly assaulted a 72-year-old family member. The female victim informed officers that Petit physically assaulted her, discharged a handgun, and at one point pointed it at her, pulling the trigger, though the firearm did not discharge.
Law enforcement attempted to establish communication with Petit over several hours, urging him to surrender. When negotiations failed, officers deployed an unspecified "technological asset" to gain insight into the situation inside the residence. Following this deployment, officers encountered Petit, resulting in an exchange during which Petit sustained a fatal gunshot wound. Initial reports suggested the gunshot may have been self-inflicted, but subsequent information indicates police involvement in the shooting during the domestic violence call.
