Stanfield police at 2:47 a.m. Saturday received a 9-1-1 call about shots fired at a party on the 900 block of South Main Street, Stanfield. Police Chief Bryon Zumwalt in a written statement reported officers arrived and found two adults at the party were shot following a dispute. Their injuries were not life- threatening, according to the statement, and both received medical treatment at Good Shepherd Medical Center, Hermiston, which later released the pair. “Based on the investigation to date,” Zumwalt reported, “this appears to be an isolated incident with no danger to the general public.” Police arrest Sunridge student over violence threat PENDLETON — A Sunridge Middle School student was arrested Sunday after making a threat about potential school violence over social media, according to a Pendleton School District press release. The student in custody originally sent the message over social media to another student Sunday night, prompting a Pendleton Police Depart- ment investigation and the arrest. Police determined that it was safe for students to attend school on Monday and a police officer will be stationed on campus for the entire day. The student remains in custody and will not be allowed to return to school until the investigation concludes. PENDLETON — Lasers lit up two aircraft almost 24 hours apart near Pendleton. The first report came Friday at 10:49 p.m., according to the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office media bulletin. The pilot said a blue laser about 20 miles east of the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport, Pendleton, illuminated the craft. The second incident occurred Saturday at 10:38 p.m. The pilot estimated the blue laser came from a point about 16 miles southeast of the airport. Pilots on Dec. 19 and on Feb. 23 also reported someone targeted their planes with a laser. While the beam from a laser pointer is a fraction of an inch wide when it leaves the device, it can reach several inches in diameter miles away and cause serious glare in the cockpit of a plane or T.

Aiming a laser pointer beam at an aircraft or their flight path is against federal law and carries maximum penalties of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Oregon law also prohibits aiming a laser at someone without their permission. “Unlawful directing of light from a laser pointer” is a class A misdemeanor in the state. PRINEVILLE (AP) — Officials are working to provide Prineville with enough electricity to ensure the central Oregon community can keep powering huge data centers operated by Face- book and Apple and make room for other companies to move in. Facebook and Apple’s arrival produced a surge in electricity demand in Prineville throughout the past several years that has overwhelmed the Bonneville Power Administration’s transmission capacity, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. But BPA is now working on a plan that calls for doubling Prineville’s capacity for electricity within a few years. The plan, presented to city and economic development officials last week, would involve upgrading electrical substations and changing how the federal agency manages power on its grid. Under the proposal, the region’s capacity would start increasing in 2019 from 560 megawatts to 1,145 megawatts. “We’re excited we’ve got a path forward, which is obviously key,” said Roger Lee, director of Economic Development for Central Oregon. Long-term requirements for the plan may involve bringing a new transmission line into the area, a project BPA acknowledged “would be a significant challenge” and take more than six years to complete.

Undersheriff John Bowels in a written statement reported the sheriff’s office Saturday at 4:52 a.m. responded to a disturbance at a home off Depot Lane, Irrigon. During the course of the investigation, a woman told deputies she had been raped. Deputies arrested Jason Kane Kissler, Kissler 35, and booked him into the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, for first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and first-degree unlawful sexual penetration. All are class A felonies in Oregon. Bowels said Monday morning the investigation remains active. Circuit court records show no prior criminal cases involving Kissler. During his arraignment Monday afternoon, Circuit Judge Dan Hill set Kissler’s bail at $200,000. His next hearing is Thursday morning. He remains in the jail. 10s National Summary: Showers and thunderstorms will soak parts of the South as rain drenches part of the Upper Midwest today.

Efrain Narcizo-Mateos, 23, of Richland, Wash- ington, is in the county jail, Pendleton, on the following charges: driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, hit and run with injury and three counts each of reckless endan- gering and second-degree assault. The crash occurred Saturday night around 8:30 at Westland and Agnew roads, Hermiston, according to police and fire reports. The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office investigated the crash with help from Oregon State Police. The sheriff’s office in a written statement reported Narcizo-Mateos was driving a 2004 GMC Envoy west on Westland Road, crossed into the eastbound lane and headed straight for a 2012 red Ford. Brady Frischman, 25, of Gresham, was at the wheel of the Ford and had two passengers, Daniel Breece, 22, of Portland, and Alyssa Ray, 23, of Philomath. Frischman tried to avoid the crash, according to the sheriff’s statement, and the Envoy struck the Ford’s passenger side. Rescuers with the Umatilla County Fire District 1 used saws and hydraulic tools to free Breece from the wreckage, the sheriff’s office reported, and a helicopter ambulance flew him to Kadlac Regional Medical Center, Richland, Washington. Ambulances took Frischman and Ray to Good Shepherd Medical Center, Hermiston. Sheriff Terry Rowan reported “their injuries were significant, but all three seem to be doing OK.” Narcizo-Mateos faced preliminary charges Monday morning in circuit court in Hermiston. His next hearing is April 24 after a grand jury reviews the case for possible charges. ——— Contact Phil Wright at pwright@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0833.
