It has been reported that the US Marshal task force that took out Michael Reinoehl Thursday had been waiting for him throughout the day before he pulled a handgun on officials leading up to the shooting.
The Thurston County Sheriff revealed that Reinhoehl was brandishing a handgun.
Reinoehl was accused of executing a pro-Trump supporter in the streets of Portland on Aug. 29 before fleeing to Washington state. A federal fugitive task force assigned to find Reinoehl located him outside Olympia.
Reinoehl was allegedly leaving an apartment complex with a firearm before entering his vehicle on Thursday. The shooting occurred in the 7600 block of 3rd. Way Southeast in Tanglewilde around 7 p.m.
The suspect reportedly exited his vehicle and fired what was believed to be an assault rifle but later revealed to be a handgun at an unmarked SUV. Bystanders reported hearing 40 or 50 shots before officers returned fire, fatally striking Reinoehl.

A federal fugitive task force located him outside of Olympia, where he was killed as they moved in to arrest him.
Portland police issued a warrant for his arrest earlier today.
Reinoehl's sister, April Reinoehl, went on the record Friday to say that her brother's death is "not bad news," fearing that he would become a martyr among those involved with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
