The sheriff’s office said in the statement that officers fired shots but did not specify whether the suspect was killed by police gunfire, providing few details about the shooting.
Deputies were called around 11 a.m. to a report of “a disturbance involving a male subject” who was firing gunshots in the area of Southeast Arabian Avenue and Southeast Sorrel Court, according to the news release.
Officers from the sheriff’s office, Salem Police Department and Oregon State Police responded and found the suspect.
