SHERWOOD, OR — July 6, 2025 – A serious police incident is under investigation following an officer-involved shooting that occurred in Sherwood on Sunday, July 6, 2025. At approximately 4:22 p.m., officers were dispatched to reports of a shooting disturbance at a commercial location near 21900 SW Langer Farms Parkway.

What began as a disturbance call quickly escalated, resulting in an encounter between law enforcement and a suspect that led to an officer discharging their weapon. The Washington County District Attorney’s Office Major Crimes Team has taken over the investigation, which is standard procedure in incidents involving police use of force.

Suspect in Custody, No Public Threat

According to official statements, the suspect involved is in custody, and there is no ongoing threat to public safety. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the individual in custody or the nature of the original disturbance that prompted the police response.

No details have been shared about injuries sustained during the incident, either by the suspect or the responding officers. As the case is still under active investigation, updates will be made public as information becomes available.

Investigation Led by Major Crimes Team

Per protocol, the Washington County District Attorney’s Office has assigned the Major Crimes Team as the lead investigative agency for this incident. The team, made up of investigators from multiple jurisdictions, is tasked with conducting a thorough and impartial review of the events that took place, including body camera footage (if available), witness interviews, and forensic analysis.

The Major Crimes Team’s involvement is intended to ensure transparency and accountability in the wake of an officer-involved shooting.

“We take all officer-involved shootings extremely seriously and follow a strict process to ensure a full and fair investigation,” said a spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office.

Community Concerns and Next Steps

While there is no current threat to the public, incidents like these often prompt concern and questions from the community. Local officials are urging patience and trust in the investigative process, which includes an internal review of the officer’s actions, possible grand jury proceedings, and eventual release of public reports when the investigation concludes.

Law enforcement agencies in Washington County have policies in place requiring independent oversight in officer-involved shootings to help maintain public confidence.

Request for Information and Witnesses

Authorities are encouraging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has relevant information to contact the Washington County Major Crimes Team. Witnesses can aid in the timely resolution of the case and help ensure that all perspectives are considered in the investigation.

All further inquiries regarding this case should be directed to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office and the Major Crimes Team, as the Sherwood Police Department is not the lead agency in this investigation.

Looking Ahead

This incident marks yet another reminder of the complexities and risks faced by both law enforcement and the communities they serve. As the investigation moves forward, the public is encouraged to follow official updates and allow the process to unfold with fairness and transparency.

More information will be released as it becomes available.
