A detective said Monday that an interagency team has submitted to the Lane County District Attorney’s Office the report on its investigation of a March 30 shooting in which Eugene resident Brian Babb was killed by a police officer.
District Attorney Alex Gardner will review the investigation and decide whether the Eugene police officer’s use of deadly force was justified under state law.

NB: From my read, this appears to be an instance of "suicide by cop." Notably, these type of shootings tend to be psychologically devastating for the involved officers.
