Acting City Manager Kristen and the Sherwood police chief briefed the council on a recent officer‑involved shooting and praised regional coordination among law‑enforcement and fire partners. Kristen said the response involved three Sherwood officers and a Tualatin officer and that, after grand‑jury proceedings, prosecutors returned a true bill on the case.

“Everything that was placed in front of them, [the grand jury] found,” Kristen said, adding she believed the grand jury returned “21 counts plus some others,” language she used when summarizing the charging decision. She emphasized that officers who responded sustained only minor injuries and that, aside from those injuries, no members of the public were reported hurt.

The city manager and the chief described a fast, multiagency response involving major‑crimes teams, a crash and reconstruction team (CART) for scene analysis, and multiple neighboring police agencies. Officials said the swift containment and cooperation meant the suspect was in custody by the time additional regional resources arrived. City leaders credited the sheriff’s office, local police chiefs, Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and other partners for assistance at the scene.

Officials also discussed the operational challenge posed by social media: contradictory or unverified posts spread quickly and require public‑information officers to correct inaccurate reports, diverting time and resources during active incidents.

The chief said the three responding officers were taken offline for administrative interviews, grand‑jury testimony and to have time to process the event; the chief said they were expected to return to duty after debriefing and rest.

Ending: City leaders asked the council to extend thanks to first responders and to recognize the complex, multiagency work required to manage serious incidents and follow through on investigations.
