The offender Shawn Sherwin Labeet.
Labeet, who may have been wearing a bulletproof vest, fled in his car, which was found abandoned 5 miles away, officials said. An AK-47 assault rifle was found inside, Alvarez said. It wasn't immediately known if it was the weapon used in the shooting.
"There was an exchange of gunfire and the subject was shot and killed," Alvarez said.
