A reported “hostage situation” in Oregon on Monday led to a fatal shooting with multiple deaths, according to officials.
The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release the incident unfolded at 12:30 p.m. local time at a home in Salem over the possible hostage situation. A trained negotiator with the office’s Hostage Negotiation Team then made a call to the suspect inside.
“As the incident unfolded, shots were fired,” the sheriff’s office said. “Ultimately, there were multiple fatalities during this incident, including that of the suspect.”
