HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — A police spokesman in the Portland suburb of Hillsboro says an officer and a civilian have been shot and wounded after police responded Thursday evening to a report of a suicidal person.

Lt. Mike Rouches says a therapist called police to say a patient was suicidal at a duplex. When officers arrived, a man opened fire and a bullet struck an officer in the shoulder. Rouches says other officers returned fire, shooting the man in the leg.

The injured officer has been taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital. The injured civilian has also been taken to a hospital. No condition reports were immediately available.
