On September 7, 2018 at approximately 8:31 am, Beaverton police officers responded to the 8500 block of SW Apple Way on a report of an adult male riding a bike while holding a large knife. This incident ultimately ended in an officer involved shooting.
On September 21, 2018, evidence in this case was presented to a Washington County Grand Jury. The Grand Jury indicted 22-year-old Anthony A Shaner for three counts of Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Two Beaverton Police officers and one store employee were considered victims in the three criminal counts.
Mr. Shaner is still receiving medical attention at a local hospital. Once Mr. Shaner is released from the hospital he will be taken into custody on the Grand Jury indictment.
Beaverton Police Officer Dan Coulson was involved in this officer involved shooting. Officer Coulson is a 22 year veteran of the Beaverton Police Department. Officer Coulson was placed on administrative leave during the investigation, which is standard practice.
