Ashland Shooting Results in Female Victim Hospitalized & Male Suspect Jailed
A woman remains hospitalized and a man is in custody following a shooting in Ashland.
On Monday at 5:49 p.m., Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon advised the Ashland Police Department of 9-1-1 calls received from residents in the 40-block of Alida Street reporting a male subject in an apartment complex had fired a gun and was making homicidal statements.
Upon arrival of officers, the male subject -- later identified as 49-year-old Cory Davison of Ashland -- fired shots at them and then fled back into the apartment. APD officers requested additional assistance from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office SWAT team.
Moments later, officers heard two more shots from within the apartment which were almost immediately followed by another 9-1-1 call from a woman who advised she had been shot. As officers made their way into the apartment, the suspect exited the residence and challenged them to shoot him.
Davison refused to obey lawful commands, so officers deployed a Taser to subdue him and place him into custody. He was lodged at the Jackson County Jail for 2nd-Degree Attempted Murder, 2nd-Degree Domestic Assault and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Anyone with further information on this incident is urged to call APD.
The unidentified woman had been shot twice. She was transported by ambulance to Rogue Regional Medical Center where she was in stable condition late yesterday.
