1 dead, 1 injured in Washington County shooting; suspect in custody

The other victim was taken to the hospital after responding deputies reportedly performed life-saving measures.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. — One person was killed and another was injured in a shooting in rural Washington County Friday night.

A 911 caller reported at about 7:15 p.m. that two adults had been shot and the suspect left the scene at Midway Road and Lepley Lane in unincorporated Hillsboro, police said.

Deputies had said they knew who the suspect is, but that person's identity was not publicly released. On Saturday morning the suspect was taken into custody and later that day her identity release. The suspect is 39-year-old Lisa Akers, and was taken into custody early this morning in Grant County, Oregon.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office doesn't believe there's any danger to the community.

Detectives have identified the deceased victim as 25-year-old Kara M. Ewing, of Cherry Grove. 

The survivor of the shooting is a 41-year-old man from Hillsboro. He remains hospitalized but is expected to survive. He was taken by a helicopter to a nearby hospital after responding deputies performed life-saving measures, according to the sheriff's office.
