MISSION — A robbery
attempt Wednesday, Aug.
17, at Wildhorse Resort
& Casino turned into a
shootout between the sus-
pect and police that left the
suspect and one bystander
injured.
The Pendleton School
District reported the
bystander was one of its
staff members.
“There were some PSD
staff onsite for a school
event,” the district reported
on its Facebook page. “Sev-
eral members of our staff
witnessed the incident
and one staff member was
injured.”
The district did not iden-
tify the staff member, and
authorities have yet to iden-
tify the suspect.
Wildhorse is on the
Umatilla Indian Reserva-
tion several miles east of
Pendleton. The Confeder-
ated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation reported
the Umatilla Tribal Police
Department at 1:04 p.m.
responded to a report of
a robbery in action at
Wildhorse.
Matt Waggoner was one
of the people standing by
the entrance to the casino
on a video call with his son
when he saw a police car
roar up to the entrance of
the food court hundreds of
feet away. He said an offi cer
stepped out of the vehicle
and began yelling for
everyone to get down and
put their hands up.
“It was all so sudden,”
Waggoner said.
The Athena resident
then said he saw the robber
emerge from the doors,
fi ring away at the offi cer.
After exchanging gunfi re,
Waggoner said the gunman
appeared to be hit on his
right side before crumpling
to the ground.
A woman sitting nearby
also was injured in the
shootout, he said, and he
captured about 20 minutes
of footage of the shooting
and subsequent action on
his phone.
Danielle McClelland
said she was on her way to
an afternoon work retreat
when she witnessed the
shooting. At the time, she
was waiting for her father
to pick her up.
“The shooting happened
so fast. I couldn’t see much.
I heard so many shots,” she
said.
There were 13 bullet
cartridges in the area
behind the offi cer’s car and
at least three bullet car-
tridges on the gunman’s
side.
McClelland, who works
for the school district, said
she believed the wounded
bystander was a coworker.
Along with Waggoner,
other bystanders fi lmed
the shooting. Police asked
one to stay back to provide
evidence. The man, who
wanted to remain anony-
mous, said he was waiting
for a transfer bus to Herm-
iston for an appointment
when the shooting hap-
pened. His statement cor-
roborated at least part of
Waggoner’s recount.
“(The gunman) came
towards the offi cer
shooting,” the man said.
“It was surreal to see that
and being able to fi lm it.
Luckily I had my phone
in my hand because I was
shaking.”
The man said he posted
the video to Facebook.
All three witnesses com-
mented on how quick the
violent encounter was and
how fast police arrived.
Waggoner said three police
cars were at the scene in
quick order and Umatilla
County Sheriff ’s Offi ce and
Oregon State Police also
arrived.
The Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Res-
ervation reported approx-
imately 20 police were
on site after the shooting,
including tribal police and
FBI.
In a statement, Wild-
horse reported ambulances
took both the suspect
and the bystander to St.
Anthony Hospital in Pend-
leton. CTUIR in an update
reported their conditions
were unknown.
“We are grateful no one
else was physically injured
with all that took place,”
according to Wildhorse
CEO Gary George. “Secu-
rity personnel and Tribal
Police were quick to act and
the situation was controlled
in a swift manner.”
Wildhorse reported the
resort and casino are open
but the food court was
closed until the investiga-
tion is complete.
George also credited
Wildhorse staff .
“Wildhorse employees
are the best,” he said.
“The way the cashiers and
everyone handled the situa-
tion was exemplary.”
CTUIR reported Uma-
tilla Tribal Police is leading
the investigation with the
assistance of the FBI and
local and state law enforce-
ment agencies.
BEND — More than
100 people, including
dozens of emergency fi rst
responders, lined Green-
wood Avenue in Bend on
Wednesday, Aug. 17, for
a procession in honor of
Bend Fire & Rescue engi-
neer Daniel Harro and his
twin brother, Mark Harro,
both of whom died in a
plane crash in Idaho on
Aug. 15.
An ambulance car-
rying the brothers from
Idaho to Bend drove along-
side dozens of fi re, law
enforcement and other
public safety vehicles past
the shuttered Pilot Butte
Drive-In, where a large
gathering of fi refi ghters
Melissa Steele, a fi re
inspector with Bend fi re.
The Idaho State Police
escorted the brothers,
who were 38, to the state’s
border with Oregon,
where Oregon State Police
took over and escorted
them home.
Dan Derlacki, Bend’s
deputy fi re marshal,
said the large gathering
of fi refi ghters around
him showed how much
Daniel Harro meant to the
department. He remem-
bered Harro as a humble
man who displayed great
leadership qualities.
“He was a special
man,” Derlacki said,
looking toward the sur-
rounding fi refi ghters
and saying, “This is his
family.”
