Narrative:

On the listed date and time, Bend Police Officers were dispatched to a report of shots fired at Mountain’s Edge Bar. Officers received additional information that a single male subject had fired a gun while exiting the bar. The male was last seen walking westbound towards Goodwill with the gun still in his hand.

Employees of Mountain’s Edge locked the doors to the bar and secured the patrons, while providing a description of the suspect. Officers also learned that there were no report of injuries at that time. A responding Officer located a person matching the suspect description walking southbound from Goodwill into the north entrance of Walmart within minutes of the call. Officers contacted the male using a high risk approach and were able to detain him without incident. He was later identified as Smith.

Smith was in possession of .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun. Officers were able to locate the spent casing he fired in the Mountain’s Edge parking lot and the caliber matched. Smith was also positively identified by patrons of the bar. 

It is unknown at this time why Smith fired the gun and no previous disputes were reported.  Drugs and alcohol were believed to be factors. 

Charges:

Unlawful use of a weapon, reckless endangering, disorderly conduct.
