A police standoff Sunday, Oct. 18, with a man who refused to leave a home in the River Road neighborhood ended when Oregon State Police shot the man, Eugene police said.

The man’s injuries were believed to be non-life threatening, police said in a news release Sunday. His name was not immediately released.

During the standoff on Glory Drive, the man in the home was armed with a knife, Eugene police said. Glory Drive is between Northwest Expressway and River Road, and south of Elkay Drive.

Eugene police responded at 7:25 a.m. after a neighbor reported an unknown man inside the home while the resident was out-of-town, police said. Officers reached out to the homeowner, who confirmed no one should be at the residence.

For several hours, police attempted to negotiate with the man. Officers did speak with him on a cell phone, police said.

Eugene police characterized the man as “at times, seeming highly agitated,” and in the news release said officers were informed by the homeowner that a gun was likely accessible in the home. A fire alarm in the home went off at some point, resulting in Eugene Springfield Fire being called to the scene, police said.

Oregon State Police SWAT arrived to assist Eugene police, who obtained an arrest warrant for the man.

Eugene police said State Police reported shots fired at 1:04 p.m. after the man allegedly stabbed a police dog, who sustained superficial injuries.  

Eugene police did not release information about how many officers fired at the man or other details about the shooting.

According to Oregon law, “an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the peace officer or to a third person” must be present before police can use deadly force.

The use of lethal force means the Lane County Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team — rather than Eugene police or Oregon State Police — will lead the shooting investigation.
