GASTON, Ore. — Deputies took a man into custody after he led law enforcement on a pursuit Tuesday morning during which shots were fired from his vehicle, the Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) reported.
After the pursuit, the suspect, identified as 27-year-old Zachery Phillips, ran from the vehicle and unsuccessfully tried to carjack another vehicle, the sheriff's office said.
At around 6:09 a.m., deputies ordered residents of Gaston to shelter in place while members of the WCSO Tactical Negotiation Team searched for Phillips. At 6:40 a.m., the sheriff's office said the shelter in place was lifted and asked people in the community to call 911 if they saw anything suspicious or knew where Phillips is.
At 7:37 a.m., the sheriff's office reported that Phillips had been located and taken into custody.
KGW photographer Eric Patterson reported from the scene that an Oregon State trooper was treated after the arrest for what looked like minor injuries to their arm.
A woman, one of two other people in the vehicle with Phillips during the pursuit, was also arrested, the sheriff's office told KGW. The suspect vehicle was towed.
