Case number: 2019-184713
On June 10, 2019 around 11:00pm officers with the Bend Police Department were dispatched to Albertson’s South for the report of a male who had been shot. The investigation found that Gabriel McGhehey and Noah Small were among 5 total people in an SUV traveling from Redmond towards La Pine. During the drive as the vehicle neared Bend, McGhehey was firing a 12-guage shotgun out of the vehicle window while traveling south on Highway 97. At some point, Small, told McGhehey to stop shooting out of the SUV and Small tried to push the barrel of the shotgun away from himself and the window. The shotgun was then fired by McGhehey which struck Small’s left hand, partially amputating several fingers. Small was then dropped off near Albertson’s South and he is currently being treated for his non-life threatening injuries at St Charles-Bend.
On June 11, 2019 around 1:00pm McGhehey was contacted on a traffic stop leaving a residence in La Pine. He was taken into custody and the shotgun among other evidence was recovered from the SUV which Small was shot in. In addition, the shotgun was reported stolen to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office earlier on June 11, 2019.
McGhehey was interviewed by Bend Police Detectives and lodged at the Deschutes County Adult Jail for Assault II, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and Theft I (Firearm).
The Bend Police want to thank the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance with this case.

Date and Time: 06/05/19 at 3:13PM
Suspect: unknown
The Bend Police Department received a call from a male who said he was going to physically harm several people inside of Sal’s Barber shop to include Sal. Several Bend Police officers set up around the area of the barber shop and saw people coming and going from the businesses not in distress. Officers contacted several people after they left the barber shop and they were not alerted to any abnormal activity. Several officers to include the Central Oregon Emergency Response Team, BLM K-9 Officer and negotiators from CERT responded and assisted. Officers were able to check the business and confirm that this call was a false report.
The Bend Police suspect this is a “swatting” hoax. This is the action or practice of making a prank call to emergency services in an attempt to bring about the dispatch of a large number of armed police officers to a particular address.
There is no credible threat to our community and the investigation is ongoing.
