Officers shoot, kill person in West Salem Goodwill store

(Update: Removing reference to sheriff’s deputies firing shots)

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Authorities shot and killed a person inside a West Salem Goodwill during a narcotics investigation.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting happened Wednesday afternoon.

Lt. Dustin Newman with sheriff’s office told the Statesman Journal that the person they described as a suspect is dead.

No officers were injured in the incident that happened during a Polk Interagency Narcotics Team operation.

Goodwill spokeswoman Dale Emanuel says the store appeared to have 25-30 customers and two dozen employees inside at the time.

Shopper Alicia Pedroza, of Salem, says everything happened fast. She says a “guy ran in” and it looked like a few officers tackled him to the floor.

The Salem Police Department is leading the investigation.
