A search for a man sought in connection with a Washington shooting ended in Fairview Thursday after authorities say he was found in a stranger's home and apparently shot himself.

A SWAT team and crisis negotiation unit surrounded a home near Northeast Lincoln Street and Sixth Avenue after finding the unidentified man alone inside, said Lt. Marc Shrake, a Multnomah County Sheriff's Office spokesman. The man surrendered soon after police heard one gunshot as they were waiting outside the home, according to Shrake.

The man was taken to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center for treatment. The sheriff's office has not released an update on his condition.

Shrake said he didn't know the details of the shooting that took place in Washington because the U.S. Marshals Service, which was searching for the man, did not publicly disclose details of the case.

According to the sheriff's office, authorities spotted the man near a Motel 6 in Troutdale around 11:20 a.m. and he drove away. He crashed near Northeast Halsey Street and 217th Avenue in Fairview and then ran away.

U.S. marshals and county deputies locked down an area of Northeast Halsey Street from 207th Avenue to 223rd Avenue to look for the man. By 5:30 p.m., a two square-block area of homes between Fairview Avenue ad Seventh Street had been evacuated during the search, the sheriff's office said.

Authorities went door to door looking for the man until they found him, Shrake said.
