The suspect accused of shooting a Gladstone police sergeant and then taking a hostage at a Subway sandwich shop on Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard late Monday has been identified as 45-year-old Jeffrey C. Giddings.

Jeffrey Carl Giddings, April 2016

Giddings, who was on a bicycle, was stopped for an apparent municipal traffic code violation by Gladstone police Sgt. Lee Jundt about 6:30 p.m. near West Gloucester Street and Risley Avenue. Giddings pulled a gun and shot Jundt in his ballistic vest; Jundt, a 20-year police veteran in Gladstone, is expected to recover.

The suspect then went into a nearby Subway with several people inside and took one woman hostage. Giddings talked to hostage negotiators. Tactical officers fired at least one shot and authorities arrested the man about 8:10 p.m.

Police said Giddings suffered non-life threatening injuries and is being treated at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. The woman who was taken hostage was not hurt.

Giddings will face numerous criminal accusations when he is discharged. Giddings is the subject of an active arrest warrant out of Klamath County for heroin possession.
