Home Intruder Brings Knife to Gunfight

A man forced his way into an apartment leased to other tenants. Upon entry, he approached an actual tenant. Unfortunately for the invader, another tenant had a gun and was not afraid to use it. The man was “dead right there” by the time the cops arrived.

From KOBI Television:

MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford Police Department has released information regarding the fatal shooting Saturday evening.

The incident happened at an apartment complex in the 400 block of Berrydale road.

MPD says one resident fired on an intruder in self defense.

Medford Police says officers were dispatched to the complex just after 6 p.m. Saturday, following a report of an unknown individual attempting to force entry into an apartment.

Within minutes, a second call was received reporting gunshots at the same location.

Upon arrival, officers located a deceased male with apparent gunshot wounds, who preliminary investigations revealed had forced entry into the apartment and was advancing towards a resident with a knife.

Another resident fired in self defense.

Knife and Golf Club Negated by Possible Drunkenness and Toxicity

The third contestant had better odds working in his favor. He was armed with both a knife and a golf club. He chased the victim with the golf club. Apparently during the confrontation, the victim pulled his own knife, which caused the perpetrator to back down. However, as soon as the victim put his knife away, he returned to being in danger. Luckily, the victim got away. However, the perpetrator continued to threaten other people, which lead to a chain reaction of events that ultimately lead to his arrest.

From Herald & Review:

Rolfs said the victim, who had been armed with his own knife, had pulled it during the attack and used it to threaten his pursuer, who had then began to back off.

“The victim said he had then put his knife away at which point the suspect raised his golf club back up and began chasing after him again,” Rolfs added.

Police arriving to investigate the incident found the suspect was already under arrest after he had been implicated in another attack. Rolfs said police reports show a female victim was shoved down some stairs, and her assailant had been “banging on doors of first floor apartment units threatening to kill people.”

Rolfs said the suspect was briefly booked into the Macon County Jail and released with a notice to appear on preliminary charges of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and battery.

Rolfs said the man was “well known” to police because he has “struggles with alcohol” and a track record of conflicts with people in his neighborhood and the wider community.

All preliminary charges are subject to review by the state attorney’s office.
