One person is in custody after a deadly shooting outside the Baker City post office Tuesday.
BAKER CITY, Ore. -- A postal worker shot and killed a female co-worker outside their workplace in this small Eastern Oregon city Tuesday afternoon, Baker County authorities said.
The shooter was taken into custody shortly after the 4:15 p.m. incident, the sheriff's office said. The names of the gunman and the victim were withheld, pending notification of family members.
The Baker City post office is in the David J. Wheeler Federal Building. The Baker City Herald reported that the victim's car had six visible bullet holes -- three in the windshield and three in the hood -- and her body could be seen toward the rear of the federal building parking lot, near the Powder River.
Employees of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, whose headquarters is upstairs in the federal building, were evacuated when a fire alarm went off.
Cheryl Thayer was working across the street when she heard what she first thought was noise from a skateboard.
"There were two sets of shooting -- the first four, a gap, then two more," she said. "Not two minutes later the first cop showed up."
She said the apparent shooter surrendered to a police officer without a fight.
"He gave himself up, came walking right up to him," Thayer said. "They frisked him on the police car, handcuffed him and put him in the car."
A press conference is set for Wednesday afternoon to release more details about the crime. KTVB has a crew in Baker City - and will bring you more details as they develop.
