Crooked River Ranch shooting suspect in custody after standoff, major police call-out; victim taken to hospital

(Update: Adding video from scene)

CROOKED RIVER RANCH, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A reported shooting in Crooked River Ranch sparked a standoff with a barricaded suspect and brought a major police and SWAT team call-out Saturday afternoon, ending with a suspect taken into custody, Jefferson County Sheriff Jason Pollock said.

Pollock confirmed online reports of a shooting on Shad Road and that a suspect was barricaded inside a structure. Many officers were on scene, surrounding the structure, and the victim was taken to the hospital. He said online reports of an “active shooter” were unfounded.

The suspect was reported to be in custody at about 4:45 p.m., the sheriff confirmed.

Residents earlier reported seeing a up to 20 or more police vehicles and SWAT units speeding to or gathered at the scene.

Our Kelsey McGee traveled to the scene, and found crime scene tape around the reported shooting scene and law enforcement gathered at the CRR Fire District offices after the incident concluded. No further information was provided, but we do we expect to learn more, and will update this report as more details are available.
