REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Police have released the tragic details of an incident that brought numerous police to a northwest Redmond home late last week. Investigators have determined that a man shot his roommate in an attempted homicide, then fatally wounded himself.

Police responded to a 911 call late on the night of Thursday, Jan. 23 and found two people with gunshot wounds at a home in the 1000 block of Northwest Elm Avenue, Lt. April Huey said.

 "The investigation by RPD and the Central Oregon Major Incident Team determined the incident to be an attempted homicide of a roommate, followed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Huey said in a news release.

The suspect in the shooting, a Redmond man, died on Saturday at St. Charles Bend, the lieutenant said.

Huey added, "RPD would like to thank Redmond Fire and Rescue, the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, Bend Police Department, Oregon State Police, Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office, Oregon State Crime Lab, and other MIT partners for responding and assisting with this investigation."
