SALEM, Ore. -- A possible “hostage situation” led to a fatal shooting after police responded to a home in the west Oregon city of Salem, The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies arrived at the home at 12:30 p.m. Monday, according to the sheriff's office.

“As the incident unfolded, shots were fired," and multiple people including the suspect died, the sheriff's office said.

1. Salem is the capitol of the state.

This is an unusually worded report.

2. "As the incident unfolded" police speak for "things got out of hand".

3. and "shots were fired"

I always get suspicious when things like this are reported as if no one was involved.
It actually is what guilty people say about something they are arrested for..."and then the gun went off"

4. It happened at 12:30PM and the shooting started during hostage negotiations ...

The Sheriff issued his first report at 6:30 PM last night. And state police are investigating.

Something the cops did went wrong.
