A Newberg man remains behind bars Monday, a day after allegedly firing a crossbow at his mother, striking her hand and severing one of her fingers.

Shortly before 5:40 p.m., officers from the Newberg-Dundee Police Department were called to a home in the 300-block of North Harrison Street. A neighbor told dispatchers that a 19-year-old had shot his mother in the hand with a crossbow.

After police officers searched the two-story duplex and immediate area for Randall Edward Bracken, deputies from the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office spotted Bracken walking on North Chehalem Drive, just outside town, said police Captain Jeff Kosmicki.

Bracken was reportedly carrying a loaded compound bow in a "low ready" position. After initially refusing to follow deputies' orders, Bracken was taken into custody shortly after 6 p.m.

Bracken was lodged at the Yamhill County Correctional Facility, held in lieu of $162,500 on charges including second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of menacing.

Bracken's mother was taken to a Portland area hospital for treatment of her injuries. She later confirmed with officers that doctors amputated the injured finger, Kosmicki said.

She and her son reside in the second-story apartment where the incident took place.
