Relatives: Irish citizen shot multiple times



SILVERTON, Ore. (AP) — The family of an Irish citizen shot by a policeman here viewed the body Thursday and say they believe he was shot multiple times.

The sister and brother-in-law of Andrew James Hanlon saw Hanlon’s body for the first time.

‘‘It offered some closure to the ongoing grieving process, but it was definitely very upsetting to both of us,’’ Nathan Heise said Thursday.

Heise said it appeared Hanlon had two gunshot wounds to his left arm, three wounds to his abdomen, one on his thigh and one in the back of his shoulder. ‘‘It was definitely not grouped in one area,’’ he said.

News of the shooting in this quiet town in the heart of the Willamette Valley agricultural area is causing reverberations in Ireland. The mother of the slain man went on the radio in Ireland Thursday to criticize police and prosecutors for failing to provide her with information.
