Oregon Hostage Situation Leads to Deadly Shooting in Salem






A possible “hostage situation” led to a fatal shooting after police were responded to a home in the west Oregon city of Salem, according to a statement from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies arrived at the home at 12:30 p.m. Monday, and a negotiator made a call to the suspect inside.

“As the incident unfolded, shots were fired,” and multiple people including the suspect died, the sheriff’s office said.

No deputies were hurt and there’s no reason to believe there’s any danger to the community, the sheriff’s office said.

The sheriff’s office declined to provide information regarding how many people were killed, who killed them, or what led up to the deaths, The Statesman Journal reported.

The sheriff’s office said in a news release Monday evening that Oregon State Police were at the scene and leading an investigation.
