###ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW###

The Portland Police Bureau and the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office are continuing to investigate the circumstances of last night's shooting. The injured suspect, a 29-year-old male, remains in a Portland hospital being treated for serious injuries and is expected to survive.

Portland Police Officer Kameron Fender, injured by the K-9, was treated and released from a Portland hospital early Saturday morning. Officer Fender is a nine-year-veteran of the Bureau, assigned to the Tactical Operations Division Canine Unit. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Deputy involved in this incident was Deputy Jon Campbell, a 12-year-veteran of the Sheriff's Office, assigned to patrol.

Under Bureau policy, Internal Affairs investigators would normally schedule an interview with the involved officer within 48 hours of the incident; however, Officer Fender's injury and medical condition may make him physically incapacitated, leaving him unable to provide a statement within the prescribed time frame. As such, investigators will schedule an interview with Officer Fender as soon as practicable.

"Our investigators are working diligently to determine what happened last night and we will release additional information when appropriate," said Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw. "This is a traumatic incident for all involved and I'm thankful that neither the officer nor deputy were seriously injured and that the suspect was able to receive immediate medical treatment, potentially saving his life."
