Sheriff's office investigates Salem shooting

A shooting Friday night on Cheryl Lynn Way NE in Salem is being investigated by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies were called around 8 p.m. to the 4000 block of Cheryl Lynn Way NE in response to reports that shots were fired in one of the upstairs apartments.

Shortly after police arrived on scene, a man, whose identity has not been released, checked himself in to Salem Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg. The man was "100 percent" involved in the shooting, said Lt. Chris Baldridge of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

The man has since been treated and released from the hospital.

According to a news release from the Sheriff's Office, one of the bullets penetrated the floor and entered the apartment below, where a father and his two children were inside.

There were no injuries to anyone inside the lower apartment.

The upstairs apartment has been searched by police, and deputies are working with residents to determine the course of events.

"We're looking for any witnesses, anybody in the area with information that would be helpful," Lt. Baldridge said.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call Det. Chris Bangs of the Marion County Sheriff's Office at (503) 588-5032.
