A Pendleton Police offi cer shot
a man who ran from an altercation
Wednesday night near Walmart.
Pendleton Police Chief Stuart
Roberts said an ambulance
took one victim to St. Anthony
Hospital, Pendleton, and as far
as he knew the shooting involved
only one offi cer. No offi cers were
injured. The offi cer, who was not
immediately identifi ed, is on an
automatic 72-hour leave.
Roberts also said Oregon
State Police would handle the
investigation.
Monte Ludington, Umatilla
County deputy district attorney,
went to the scene in place of
District Attorney Dan Primus,
who is at the Oregon District
Attorneys Association confer-
ence in Gleneden Beach.
The shooting occurred around
8:45 p.m., near the busy inter-
section of Southwest 20th Street
and Court Avenue in Pendleton.
Witnesses said a person ran
from the Walmart parking lot to
Southwest 20th, where an offi cer
shot the person. One witness said
she saw the shooting but did not
want to speak to a reporter. Other
witnesses said they heard multiple
shots, perhaps as many as seven.
Medical supplies remained in
the middle of the street just north
of the access road to Taco Bell
and the nearby Walmart.
Pendleton police, the Umatilla
County Sheriff’s Offi ce and
Oregon State Police troopers all
responded to the scene.
