PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A grand jury in Portland, Ore., has returned a 23-count indictment against a 61-year-old man accused of seriously wounding a city police officer on March 6.
The Oregonian said Monday that Ralph Clyde Turner is charged with 12 counts of attempted aggravated murder, 10 counts of unlawful use of a firearm and one count of assault.
Officer Parik Singh remains hospitalized.
Gunfire broke out after police responded to a 911 call from Turner’s girlfriend, who said she feared he was suicidal and might take his life with pills.
Police say Turner fired one shot from a handgun through the security door of his girlfriend’s duplex and three more shots from a hunting rifle out the front window.
