News Release
Shots Fired Call in Newberg - 10/22/21

At approximately 12:20 pm today NDPD officers responded to a report of several shots fired in the 1800 block of Orchard Drive, Newberg. 

 

Officers arrived and set up a perimeter but did not hear further shots in the area.  Officers talked to witnesses that stated a male came out of a resident and fired several shots into the air but then they lost sight of the suspect. 

 

This area of Newberg is close to George Fox University and the Chehalem Aquatic Center.  There were reports on social media of an active shooter situation, but those reports were false.  At the time of this release, NDPD is not aware of anyone being injured during this incident.  Officers were able to contact the suspect by phone, but he appeared to be intoxicated and refused to come out of the residence.

 

Taking all things into consideration NDPD officers attempted to de-escalate the situation and leave the area instead of trying to make an arrest at this time.  All foot and vehicle traffic were shut down in the area for over two hours as officers worked through this call.  We apologize for any inconvenience to our residents, but it was to keep the public safe. 

 

NDPD would like to thank the Newberg Public Works staff for their assistance with traffic control as well as the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance. 

 

At this time we are withholding the suspects name until further investigation can be completed.
