A man who tried to steal a helicopter at gunpoint outside a flight school in Oregon was fatally shot by police on Monday. The incident began when a man wearing a gray hoodie, with the hood up, approached the Hillsboro Airport's chain-link fence and climbed over. An observer, who was there with his family to watch the planes, told police, "For a moment, I thought to myself that it was a little warm for the big, thick, gray hoodie with the hood over him," according to the Oregonian. The man told reporters when the man jumped the fence, he rushed his family into the car and left the scene.
