Police swarmed a Sandy neighborhood Monday after reports of a domestic disturbance and a shooting near the 39500 block of Evans Street, and officers told nearby residents to lock their doors and stay inside while the scene remained active. The warning came as a heavy police presence surrounded the area and authorities urged people to stay away.

Sandy police said the area was not safe and told residents to remain inside as more agencies moved into position. Around 5:43 p.m., Gresham Police said they were assisting Sandy police and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, and KATU crews reported SWAT vans on scene alongside multiple police agencies.

Scott Keyser posted on Facebook asking residents to join him in prayer for the first responders involved in the incident, a sign of how quickly the shooting report rippled beyond the blocked-off streets. His message matched the mood in the neighborhood: officials were still trying to secure the area while telling people to keep clear and wait for more information.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office reposted Sandy police’s message and confirmed the situation, but the most important facts still were not public. Authorities did not immediately say what led to the reported shooting, whether anyone was injured or detained, or how the domestic disturbance report fit into the scene. Just after 5:50 p.m., Sandy police told KATU the shooting scene remained active, leaving neighbors waiting for the update officers had already promised.
