arrived shortly after the call and
ordered people in the crowded
shopping center at 40th Avenue
and Donald Street to remain in
doors.
With the suspect still in the
bank, officers positioned them
selves around the building, one of
ficer taking cover with a rifle in
some bushes behind a nearby bus
stop.
Then Campbell emerged from
the bank wielding a shotgun and
holding onto a hostage, an uniden
tified bank employee in her 50s,
according to police.
“There was obviously some eye
contact between the officer and the
suspect, but no words were ex
changed,” Alejandre said.
Campbell shot once at the officer
behind the bus stop, blasting a
hole twice the size of a basketball
through the glass shelter, Alejan
dre said. The officer fired five
rounds, hitting the suspect in the
abdomen/groin area and riddling a
nearby blue minivan with bullets.
(( Based on interviews,
apparently the suspect
went into the bank
indicating he had every
intention to die at the
hands of police. Some call
it death-by-police.

Department
The hostage escaped unharmed
during the shooting.
After Campbell was taken to the
hospital, Lane County District At
torney Doug Harcleroad arrived at
the scene to review the police ac
tion. He decided that the officer
was justified in shooting Camp
bell, Alejandre said.
The EPD, in conjunction with
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion, will further investigate the
robbery.
Campbell faces charges of kid
napping, robbery and possibly at
tempted aggravated murder, Ale
jandre said.
Ken Sturdevant, who lives near
by on 41st Avenue, said his son
was outside playing basketball at
the time of the shooting.
“My son heard the volley of
shots, ran inside the house and
hunkered down,” he said.
“This is a real community cen
ter,” Sturdevant said while walk
ing his border collie, Trixy, at
around 7:30 p.m. and watching po
lice at the scene. “People are walk
ing around, on skateboards and bi
cycles. I didn’t realize it was such
a community center until now.”
