UPDATE: Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett says the investigation into the Okanogan County Officer-Involved shooting will continue. Chelan County Sheriff's and Washington State Patrol Detectives remain on scene in Okanogan County to interview witnesses and process the scene. The victim has been identified as 62-year-old Raymond E. Moore, of Okanogan. The suspect was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane. His medical condition has not been released.

An Okanogan man is dead and another man was wounded in a shooting Thursday night on East Dry Coulee Road.

Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said deputies were called to the home for a possible assault shortly after 8:00pm. Rogers said when the Deputy arrived two adult females ran out of the house and told them a man had shot his father inside the house.

The Okanogan County Special Response Team was called to the scene. Rogers said when they went in to rescue the victim, the suspect fired shots at them. The man was wounded when deputies returned fire. Medics took him to Mid-Valley Hospital, but his condition is not yet known. The Sheriff said "The father had been fatally wounded by his son and was pronounced dead at the scene."

None of the officers were injured.

The incident is being investigated by the Chelan County Sheriff's Office and no names have been released at this time.
