A late-night shooting near a well-known airplane home in Hillsboro left two people injured and prompted a large multi-agency police response early Sunday.
Incident Near Famous Aircraft Residence
Authorities say the shooting occurred around midnight in a remote area along Southwest Holly Hill Road, close to the unique residence built from a retired aircraft.
The site is widely known for its converted Boeing 727, which has been transformed into a home and draws international attention.
Victims Expected to Survive
Officials confirmed that two individuals were shot but are expected to recover. Their identities have not been released.
Multiple Agencies Respond
Law enforcement from several departments, including the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police, responded to the scene alongside local police units.
Minors Involved; Suspects in Custody
Authorities indicated that minors were involved in the incident, though specific details remain limited. Two individuals have been taken into custody as the investigation continues.
Possible Link to Gathering
The property’s owner, who is currently out of the country, said he was informed the shooting may have been connected to a gathering near the aircraft. He emphasized that such activity goes against the intended peaceful use of the site, where alcohol and weapons are not permitted.
Investigation Ongoing
Officials are continuing to gather information and have not yet disclosed what led to the shooting.
