Before the standoff, Hill\u2019s father contacted the police around noon and informed officers of his son\u2019s behavior. Hill’s father told them that Hill was a previous combat veteran and had access to multiple guns in the home. Hill\u2019s father explained that his son had fired a gun in their home and reportedly barricaded himself in a shed on their property. Due to the seriousness of the situation, people were evacuated from their homes and businesses for their own safety. There was also a large number of children evacuated from the local school in the area. After hours of negotiations, Hill finally surrendered and was taken to a medical facility. While no one was seriously injured due to his actions, the danger caused many to feel uneasy and fear what could have happened.What Injuries Can You Suffer After an Oregon Shooting?Criminal behavior often causes innocent bystanders to suffer severe, life-threatening injuries.
