Several people were killed in a hostage-taking in the US city of Salem in Oregon on Monday afternoon. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office received a call around 12:30 pm informing them that a hostage situation had occurred.
Following this, a task force with a trained hostage negotiator traveled to the scene. He tried to talk to the kidnapper on the phone. But “shots were fired,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
“There were several deaths in this incident”
“In this incident there were several deaths, including the suspect,” as it progresses. The motive of the perpetrator is not yet clear. As well as the real number of dead. The sheriff’s office did not provide any specific information about this in its notification.
The police officers are said not to have been killed in the shooting. The officers involved were granted a leave of absence until the course of the hostage-taking and associated shooting is clarified. (wheel)
