WARRENTON, Ore. — The Clatsop County Sheriff's Office says an Oregon State Police trooper shot and killed a woman who broke into someone's home in Warrenton and later brandished a gun at law enforcement.
The woman was identified as 31-year-old Aliana Burns, of Astoria.
The sheriff's office said in a news release that law enforcement agencies responded to a burglary in the 33000 block of Oregon Lane Monday afternoon. The sheriff's office says someone called 911 and said an unknown woman walked into his house and barricaded herself in a room that had firearms.
The sheriff's office says deputies unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with Burns, who deputies said fired a shot inside then made her way to the roof.
The sheriff's office says she brandished a gun in an officer's direction and an Oregon State Police trooper fatally shot her. The trooper has not been identified. They are on administrative paid leave.
The investigation is ongoing.
