Multiple people died after a shooting in Sandy on Sunday, during which an officer was shot multiple times during an exchange of gunfire.
Sandy Police Chief Patrick Huskey told reporters Sunday night, May 31, that officers and Clackamas County deputies responded to reports of a domestic dispute and shooting around 4 p.m. Sunday.
When they arrived at the scene on Evans Street near Ross Avenue, officers came under fire, Huskey said. They returned fire, and the officer was shot. Medical crews later transported the officer via LifeFlight to a hospital with "multiple" gunshot wounds.
Huskey, who did not take questions at the Sunday night press conference, said multiple people died during the incident.
"There are multiple victims deceased at this time," Huskey said.
The suspect, identified as Bryan Andrew Moore, surrendered to law enforcement "peacefully."
"I understand everyone wants answers and information right now, but this remains a very dynamic and active investigation," Huskey said. "I can tell you that investigators from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office and the Clackamas County Major Crimes team are working to process the scene, conduct interviews, and get the answers our community deserves."
Sandy Mayor Kathleen Walker expressed condolences in a social media post.
“Tonight, our Sandy community grieves the unimaginable loss of lives from a domestic violence incident,” the post read in part. “Our small town is not shielded by distance or size.”
