SPOKANE VALLEY -- Spokane Police have released the names of the two officers who shot an armed man outside a Spokane Valley apartment last weekend.

Spokane Valley Police officers Ryan Walter and Rustin Olson were called to an apartment near 8910 E. Broadway Saturday night on the report of an argument.

Investigators say Walter and Olsen were confronted by Donald Lafavor, 65, who was armed with a handgun. Both Walter and Olsen fired at Lafavor, hitting and injuring him.

Both officers were hired in 2006 and will return to patrol duties on Monday.
