At approximately 4:47 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, Bend Police received a call from St. Charles Bend reporting that someone had called the hospital and threatened to carry out a shooting there. The hospital conducted a lockout at the facility.

As officers were en route to the hospital on that call, an officer attempted to pull over a vehicle associated with a man wanted for a July 7 domestic assault. The suspect ran from the vehicle into an apartment complex near NE Neff Road and 27th Street.

Officers set up a perimeter of the area, flew multiple drones and used K9s to conduct a thorough search of the area, but were unable to locate him.
