Another bad one gone

The Los Angeles Times has an article about a righteous shooting in Sunnyvale, California:
Three Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies on routine patrol shot and killed the gunman alleged to have committed the Cupertino workplace shootings after spotting the armed suspect in a Sunnyvale neighborhood and attempting to make contact with him, authorities said.
"The three deputies on routine patrol are the ones who found him despite all of our efforts," said Sheriff Laurie Smith, referring to the massive manhunt launched for Shareef Allman, 47, after he allegedly fatally shot three co-workers and wounded several others at the Lehigh Permanente plant where they all were employed. The suspect was armed with a handgun, Smith said. “All three deputies fired at the suspect,” she said. “He did display, in a threatening manner, a firearm.”
The identity of the victim must still be confirmed by coroner's investigators, but the body matched the description of Allman, she said.
The deputies, two men and a woman whose identities were not revealed, were patrolling the area when one of them noticed some suspicious movement in the neighborhood and they got out of their vehicles, Smith said. "The subject crouched down behind a vehicle," she said. "Deputies attempted to make contact with the suspect. The suspect was armed. All three deputies fired shots. The subject was pronounced dead at scene."
It is unclear how the suspect managed to elude officers or where he had been hiding since the shootings at the plant, Smith said. The motive for the shootings is still unknown, she said.
Rico says he doubts Miranda was mentioned...
