Suspect In Custody Following Burglary With Shots Fired - 06/22/26

On Sunday, June 21, at approximately 10:47 p.m., officers with the Medford Police Department responded to the 800 block of Gilman Road for a reported burglary in progress.

The reporting party told dispatchers that a subject was attempting to break into the residence and that shots had been fired by the homeowner.

The family inside the home was able to safely exit the residence and meet responding officers at a location away from the scene.

Officers then established a perimeter around the home. With assistance from drone operators, officers were able to locate and communicate with the suspect inside the residence. The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Nathan Roberson, was found to be suffering from a gunshot wound.

Roberson was taken into custody without incident and transported to a local hospital for treatment. He remains in police custody while receiving medical care. Roberson is from out of state and was staying at a nearby hotel.

This incident remains under investigation. We would like to thank the Central Point Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and Oregon State Police for their assistance in this case. The suspect has not been formally charged at this time and the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office has been consulted on this case for the review of official charges on the burglary suspect.
