Early Wednesday, a disturbance at the McDonald's parking lot on Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha escalated into an officer-involved shooting that shut down part of the busy commute corridor. Authorities said no one at the scene was hurt and a suspect was taken into custody while investigators combed through the area for evidence.
What officials say
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to 19525 SW Tualatin Valley Highway at about 12:48 a.m. after reports that a man was damaging the restaurant's windows. The agency confirmed that an officer-involved shooting occurred, that no injuries have been reported, and that a suspect is now in custody.
Road closure and response
TV Highway was shut down between 192nd and 198th avenues as law enforcement and crime scene technicians worked the scene and placed evidence markers across the parking lot and roadway. As reported by KATU, the Washington County District Attorney’s Office Major Crimes Team has been activated, and the Beaverton Police Department is taking the lead on the investigation.
Major Crimes Team and oversight
The Washington County Major Crimes Team, coordinated by the district attorney and staffed by detectives from multiple agencies, routinely responds to officer-involved shootings and other serious crimes, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office. The multi-agency setup is designed to separate the initial patrol response from the follow-up work, including evidence collection and witness interviews that feed into charging decisions.
Beaverton Police and the district attorney's office have not released additional details. Drivers should expect lingering lane restrictions in the area while investigators finish processing the scene. This story will be updated as more official information becomes available.
