‘Pop pop pop': Sherwood officer involved in shooting
The shooting at 21900 SW Langer Farms Parkway happened around 4:20 p.m., officials said. The details of what happened, who fired and what led up to the shooting have not been disclosed. But Sherwood police said the 'suspect is in custody.'
KOIN 6 News saw a white truck with apparent bullet strikes in the windshield in the area roped off by crime scene tape.
Bruce Cooper, a Sherwood resident in the area, told KOIN 6 News he was in his backyard when he heard the shooting.
'It was, pop pop pop, like, and then maybe one more after that,' Cooper said. 'We were in the pool, in the backyard, and, we heard, oh, I thought it was fireworks going off. And then, all of a sudden I heard them coming through the trees. Whether that was the sound or the bullets, I don't know. It was pretty wild.'
Another Sherwood resident, Pat Ochs, said the entire incident was 'very shocking. Very shocking.'
Officials with TVFR told KOIN 6 News the shooting was near the fire station but no firefighters were hurt. However, fire officials said crews responded to treat two people, who were both taken to a nearby hospital.
It is not clear at this time who the two injured people are, what their injuries are or their prognosis.
The case is open and active.
The Washington County District Attorney's Office will assign the primary agency to investigate the shooting incident.

Friends star's alleged 'Ketamine Queen' given trial date
A woman charged with selling Friends actor Matthew Perry the dose of ketamine that killed him will go on trial next month. The trial of Jasveen Sangha, allegedly known as the Ketamine Queen, will begin on 23 September after an order from a Los Angeles judge on Tuesday. She is the only defendant standing trial over Perry's death after four others reached plea agreements with prosecutors. The 42-year-old, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with five counts of ketamine distribution, including one count of distribution resulting in death. Sangha's trial has been postponed four times after her lawyers said they needed longer to go through the prosecution's evidence and to finish their own investigation Perry died in his home in October 2023, aged 54, after getting ketamine from his regular doctor for treatment of depression, which is an increasingly common use for the surgical anaesthetic. The actor was taking ketamine six to eight times a day before he died, according .

Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation's capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed 'Big Balls,' was among the most visible figures of Trump's DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city's Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple's car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington's autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as 'out of control.' 'If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore,' Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The District of Columbia has long served as a symbolic battleground in debates over crime and governance, and its lack of statehood has made it uniquely vulnerable to federal intervention. Republican leaders have frequently seized on episodes of violence to portray the city as a case study of violence in cities run by Democratic mayors, even as city officials note that violent crime overall is down more than 25% from the same period last year. Still, local officials have acknowledged in recent years that youth crime, particularly carjackings, remains a serious concern. Just last year, a 14-year-old was charged with killing a Lyft driver in a botched carjacking, and a significant portion of carjacking arrests in Washington involve juveniles. The Metropolitan Police Department said its investigation into the attack on Coristine remains active and additional suspects are still being sought. __ Balsamo reported from New York.
