Fire causes brief I-205 closure
Blumhagen is accused of multiple counts of attempted murder, including for allegedly with shots fired. He also allegedly rammed a responding patrol car, injuring the officer inside, while intoxicated and behind the wheel on July 6.
The incident happened at 21900 SW Langer Farms Parkway in the afternoon. Tualatin Police Officer Eli Fults returned fire on Blumhagen, but the suspect was not hit, officials said. He climbed through the sunroof of his pickup truck and surrendered to officers, unharmed, police said.

'Investigators recovered a total of 27 shell casings related to Blumhagen's barrage of gunfire. Investigators also determined that he used several firearms to commit his crimes,' the Tigard Police Department said in a press release.
Police said they're seeking a witness in the incident who was seen driving a silver Corvette at the scene at the time. Officials are releasing images of the car in hopes of getting in touch with the witness.
Blumenhagen is facing four counts of attempted murder, with two of the charges for targeting community members and two charges for targeting police officers. He's also facing 10 charges of unlawful use of a weapon, four counts of first-degree criminal mischief with a gun, second-degree assault for injuring a police officer by ramming his truck into her patrol car, driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless endangerment of another person.

El Paso Police fight back vs. catalytic converter theft with VIN etching event
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Police Department and Take 5 Oil Change are taking 'proactive steps' to protect vehicle owners from the rising threat of catalytic converter theft. To that end, they will host a Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention Event from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, July 26 at Take 5 Oil, 1341 N. Zaragoza. The event will offer vehicle owners free VIN etching services. El Paso has reported more than 800 catalytic converter thefts during the past three years, El Paso Police said. To help deter these crimes, the El Paso Police Department is providing free vehicle identification number (VIN) etching on catalytic converters. This process involves permanently marking the vehicle's VIN onto the converter, making it more difficult for thieves to sell the stolen part without proof of ownership, police said. This is a preventative measure aimed at reducing thefts and helping identify stolen property more easily, police said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
