The Washington State Patrol has identified the gunman in Saturday’s Eagle Harbor shooting spree as Robert David Yeiser of Seattle.

Yeiser, 34, was shot and killed by police at the close of a nearly four-hour standoff just south of downtown Winslow that started after Yeiser began to shoot at the shoreline with a rifle just before 8:30 p.m. July 8.

The gunfire prompted a massive police response to the shoreline of Eagle Harbor, and authorities said Yeiser soon began to shoot at officers after they arrived at the scene.

Officers — most of them members of the Kitsap County Regional SWAT Team — attempted to make contact with Yeiser early Sunday morning as he was aboard his sailboat, the “Flying Gull,” while the vessel was anchored in the middle of the harbor.

As the police boats approached the 50-foot wooden sailboat just after 1 a.m. Sunday, however, officers saw Yeiser raise his rifle at officers.

Police then shot Yeiser as he stood on the deck of his ketch.

Yeiser was an employee at Amazon in Seattle since June 2012, according to his profile on LinkedIn, a business-based social networking website.

He was a former editor in the online retailer’s web services division, according to his LinkedIn profile, and started work as a senior content developer and was with the company through June 2016.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Review on Monday.

Yeiser was a relatively new resident in the Seattle area, having attended the University of North Dakota through May 2012.

He is not listed in the university’s alumni database, a UND official said Monday.

Yeiser has owned the “Flying Gull” since at least 2004, according to Coast Guard records. The vessel’s registered home port is Seattle, although police have said the sailboat has been in the Eagle Harbor area for a few weeks.
