SEATTLE (AP) — A fugitive who was killed in a police raid after using a cardboard gun to escape from a courthouse last month was shot seven times, according to an autopsy.
The King County autopsy report also showed that Harold McCord Jr. was sober during the raid.
McCord, 36, had faced life imprisonment under Washington's "three strikes" law for repeat violent offenders when he wielded the fake gun and escaped from a Tacoma courtroom June 23.

The next day, eight police officers forced their way into an apartment in Macome, about 60 miles northeast of Tacoma, and shot McCord when he refused to surrender.
