Monday night’s shooting was the fourth reported shooting in northeast Salem since Sunday.
“At this point our investigators are following up on all leads,” said sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. Jeremy Landers. “It’s too early to rule out any possible connections.”
Landers said sometimes shootings come in spurts, especially during the summer months when the sheriff’s office responds to more calls.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the shooting to call the sheriff’s office non-emergency number at 503-588-5032.
