Shooting Suspect Found Dead Near Detroit; Hwy 22 Closed

DETROIT, OR -- Highway 22 closed for much of Tuesday afternoon, after Marion County Deputies spotted a shooting suspect just outside the Detroit city limits. When deputies approached, they discovered the man dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. 
Earlier in the day, the same man was suspected of ramming his truck into a Salem house and shooting a woman inside. She was taken to a Salem hospital with critical injuries. A nearby school was also put in lockdown when investigators learned the victim’s children were possibly in danger.

Highway 22 remains closed near Detroit Lake for that investigation. Oregon Department of Transportation officials urge drivers headed over the pass to take Highway 20 or delay their trip. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
