Lake Oswego Communications (LOCOM) received a call requesting a welfare check on a woman after her boyfriend was observed during a live social media video appearing upset about a police response earlier in the day at an apartment complex located at 1 Jefferson Parkway. During the video, the male possessed a firearm and stated he intended to have a “shootout” with police.  Detectives determined there were Lake Oswego Police Officers on patrol in the apartment complex while the suspect was livestreaming, raising concerns for their safety.
