On Thursday, August 15, 2019 at approximately 6 p.m., Tigard Police were notified that a man allegedly had been shot and was requesting medical help. Police quickly responded to an area near Greenburg Rd. and Center St. where the victim was waiting. Upon arrival, the 41-year-old victim was assisted until emergency medical personnel arrived and transported the injured man to a local hospital via ambulance.
Shortly after, Tigard Police were on scene gathering evidence and witness statements which ultimately sent them to the 11700 block of Greenburg Rd. There, Tigard Police took a 61-year-old Tigard man into custody. Glenn Howard Fischbuch was charged with Attempted Murder, Assault and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Fischbuch was later lodged in the Washington County Jail and is awaiting arraignment.
The shooting victim was treated and released from the hospital several hours later that same evening. Investigators believe the incident stemmed from a dispute between the two men who were acquainted. The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Tigard Police at 503-718-COPS (2677) or tips@tigard-or.gov
