A normally quiet Sandy neighborhood snapped into lockdown Monday after reports of a shooting tied to a domestic disturbance in the 39500-block of Evans Street near Ross Avenue. Sandy police took to social media urging people nearby to lock their doors and stay inside while officers and emergency crews moved in. The message was blunt: the area was not safe, and the public needed to steer clear until the situation was under control.
What police said
According to KGW, the Sandy Police Department said the incident started as a domestic disturbance in the 39500-block of Evans Street and was still unfolding as officers responded. In a public safety alert, the department told residents that the area was not safe and asked everyone to stay away while police worked the scene. As officers secured the block, authorities did not immediately release any information about possible injuries or arrests.
Neighborhood impact
The shelter-in-place advisory asked residents to lock their doors, stay inside, and avoid the immediate area while police handled the situation.

Officials said more details will be shared once it is safe to release additional information.

Anyone with information that could help investigators is asked to contact authorities, using 911 for emergencies and the department's non-emergency line for tips.
