Hood River Standoff Ends "Safely"

HOOD RIVER, OR -- Hood River Police evacuated homes and a school during what the department called an “active shooter” situation, early Thursday afternoon. After those initial reports, officers say the suspect was contained in a house, and neighbors were asked to shelter in place or stay away during the 10-hour stand-off.

Throughout the evening, police used distraction devices and tear gas, in an attempt to convince the man to come outside.

They said late Thursday the man was taken “safely into custody” but released no other details.
