It does sound like there is no longer a threat to public. If you live in the area, stay inside your homes for now. Even if you witnessed something. Call dispatch at 541-265-4231 and let them know. DO NOT TRY AND GO TO THE SCENE AND GIVE YOUR STATEMENT. Call dispatch and an officer will come to you when they are able.
10:45pm – Initially Law Enforcement was telling dispatch to have other agencies respond to the South County Sheriff Office. It has now been said to meet at the scene and one officer said they have their command trailer onscene. This sounds like it will be a lengthy investigation and we don’t anticipate a press release until Tuesday at this point.
