Man ID’d who dies in shooting, crash into Harrison Twp. apartment

A man who died after he was shot and drove into a Harrison Twp. apartment building on Tuesday has been identified.

The gunshot and crash victim is 21-year-old Nathen Rue of Vandalia, Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Kent Harshbarger said Friday in a news release.

Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported shooting around 1 p.m. Tuesday in the 1900 block of Palisades Drive. There, they found a blue SUV that had crashed into an apartment building and that the driver had been shot.

A woman told deputies that she was a CCW permit holder and that she shot the driver after he tried to hit her with the SUV, according to the sheriff’s office.

Detectives from the sheriff’s office’s Specials Investigation Unit interviewed the woman and released her. Deputies recovered the gun believed to have been used in the shooting.

Detectives also reviewed video of the incident and interviewed multiple witnesses.

The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate and will present the case to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office for the consideration of charges.
