News Release
Discharge of Firearm in Sunriver Residence - 07/26/24

On July 25th, 2024, at approximately 830pm, Sunriver Police Department personnel were dispatched to Acer Lane in Sunriver for a report of a firearm being discharged inside a residence.  Witnesses reported the lone occupant of the residence was potentially experiencing a mental health crisis and they heard a gunshot come from inside.  The Sunriver Police Department and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office arrived, secured the area, notified adjacent residences, and established contact with the female subject within the residence in question.  The subject refused to speak with law enforcement.  After verifying the subject was alone in the residence and that the subject did not intend to harm others, law enforcement attempted to de-escalate the situation by backing away from the residence and observing it from a distance.  Sunriver Police monitored the residence until the morning of July 26th, when contact was re-established with the subject who agreed to exit the residence and was subsequently taken into custody without incident.  The Sunriver Police Department would like to thank the Sunriver Community for their patience as this incident was peacefully resolved.  We would also like to thank the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance.
