News Release
Deputy Faces Gunfire; Nine Hour Standoff Ends Peacefully - 12/12/18

Parkdale, OR - On December 11, 2018, at about 4:30 p.m., the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a female who was distraught.  A short time later, the female’s employer called to report that she had not been to work for the last several days and were concerned about her wellbeing. 

At about 4:54 p.m., a deputy arrived at the female’s residence located in the 5000 block of Booth Hill Road in Parkdale, to check on her welfare.  The female, identified as fifty-one-year-old Lisa Vieira, immediately confronted the deputy with a firearm and ultimately fired several shots in his direction.  The deputy was able to safely retreat from the immediate area, while Vieira barricaded herself in her residence.

Tactical team members from the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, The Dalles Police Department, Sherman County Sheriff’s Office, and Oregon State Police responded to the location.  At around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, Vieira surrendered peacefully to an Oregon State Police SWAT Team, ending a nine-hour standoff.

Vieira was lodged at Northern Oregon Regional Corrections in The Dalles on charges of Attempted Aggravated Murder, Recklessly endangering another person and Pointing a firearm at another.  No one was injured as a result of the incident.  The Columbia Gorge Major Crimes Team is continuing the investigation.
