Medford Police responded to the 800 block of Gilman Road for a reported burglary in progress Sunday at approximately 10:47 p.m.
The reporting party told dispatch that a subject was attempting to break into the residence, and that shots had been fired by the homeowner. The family inside was able to safely exit the home and meet responding officers at a location away from the scene.
Police then established a perimeter around the home. With assistance from drone operators, officers were able to locate and communicate with the out-of-state suspect inside the residence, identified as 21-year-old Nathan Roberson.
He was found to be suffering from a gunshot wound, and was taken into custody without incident. He was then transported to a local hospital for treatment, and will remain in police custody while receiving medical care.
This incident remains under investigation. Roberson has not been formally charged at this time, and the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office has been consulted on this case for the review of official charges.
