Two Washington County deputies were shot Thursday evening near Hagg Lake outside of Gaston, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported.

The suspect was also shot and taken into custody shortly afterward, officials said. His name and details about his condition were not immediately available.

A news conference with Sheriff Pat Garrett was held around 10 p.m. at OHSU Hospital. Garrett said one of the deputies has serious injuries, and the second has non-life-threatening injuries.

Garrett said the suspect shot at deputies while they were out searching for him in the woods, and several tactical negotiation team members returned fire, wounding the suspect. He said the suspect surrendered after being shot and was transported to a local hospital. Garrett did not have an update on his condition as of Thursday night. He also thanked the local law enforcement and medical agencies that helped with the incident, and thanked family members of the officers and community members for their support.

Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Shannon Wilde told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the last officer-involved shooting the department had was in the 1990s. She said an officer suffered a ricochet wound about four years ago. Wilde also said around 9:45 p.m. that many officers were still at the scene and would likely be there through the night.

Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian van Kleef said the incident happened after a man was found stealing guns from a home on Scoggins Valley Road. He said the man walked up to a rural property near Hagg Lake, stole two long guns that were in an outdoor cabinet or container, and walked into the woods. He said the homeowner, who did not recognize the man, called the police.

Van Kleef said deputies found the suspect around 5 p.m. after searching with a canine unit and tactical team.

Van Kleef said the injured deputies were conscious when they were taken to the hospital by helicopter. Residents of the home were safely evacuated, and police did a reverse 911, telling everyone to shelter in place until the suspect was in custody.
