SHOOT,
continued from Page A1
Several blocks of Chemawa
Road Northeast were closed
for several hours and traffi c
was diverted.
At a Keizer City Council
meeting Monday, March 20,
KPD Chief John Teague said
the facts of the shooting were
being presented to a grand
jury this week. The grand jury
will review the facts and evi-
dence related to the shooting
and make a determination as
to whether it was justifi ed.
Further updates were ex-
pected for after press time Fri-
day, March 23.
The last time a Keizer of-
fi cer was involved in the
shooting of a suspect was June
2016. The offi cer involved was
found to have been justifi ed in
the use of deadly force when
he confronted a suspect armed
with a knife after commission
of an armed robbery. It is only
the fourth incident of a Keiz-
er offi cer using deadly force
since the department was
formed in the early 1980s. It is
the fi rst fatality as the result of
such action.

Park restrooms delayed
Planned restrooms with
fl ushing toilets in a Keizer
park, a fi rst for the city, hit a
snag when city staff opened
bids on the project.
Every bid exceeded the
planned budget by at least
$100,000 for the restrooms
and septic system. The grant-
funded project had a projected
cost of $223,400, the low bid
was $329,609
“A lot of that is to do with
a booming economy and a
summer build project,” John-
son said, at a meeting of the
Keizer Parks Advisory Board
on March 12.
In an attempt to save mon-
ey, the city threw out the bids
and will rebid the project at a
later date.
“We’ll rebid it for fall, win-
ter, spring and hope to get the
price down a little bit,” John-
son said.

Students at Whiteaker Middle School listen as organizers of a walkout read the names and brief biographies of those killed at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
WALKOUT,
continued from Page A1
Hodges said she wanted the students
who participated in the walkout to feel
empowered after it was over.
“I hope that they realize that it’s not
only high schoolers. Some of us think we
can’t say something because we are only in
middle school, but I wanted them to real-
ize that they can still have an opinion and
a voice on these things,” Boyd said.
More than 200 students walked out at
McNary High School. They stood in si-
lence for 17 minutes in front of the school.
Faith Danner, a junior, who orga-
nized the walk out, made 17 numerical
signs, one for every victim in the school
shooting at Parkland. Other signs read
“Fear has no place in our school” and
“#Never Again.”
did, but with differing reasons.
“As a student, I feel as safe as possible
because we have great security and we
have a teacher who served in the military.
I feel safe here because of the people we
have here,” Hodges said.
“I feel like Whiteaker is a very safe
school. My mom was worried because she
heard some people were saying they were
going to shoot kids during the walkouts.
That made me worried, but I feel safe here
and I want other kids to feel safe in their
schools,” Boyd said.
“There was a lot more people than I was
expecting,” Danner said. “I was really im-
pressed. I was really happy. I think a lot of
it was by example. I think a lot of people
became leaders today.”
Danner walked out to show her support
of Parkland and because she no longer feels
safe at school.
“I hope that we make an impact,” she
said. “We have enough people that I know
someone will see it and hopefully the legis-
latures will see it and want to make a differ-
ence and see that we want a difference and
we have a voice.”
Students at Claggett Creek Middle
School also fi led out of the building at 10
a.m. and stood in silence for 17 minutes.
