At approximately 1:50 a.m. on March 4, officers responded to a report of shots fired at an apartment complex in the 800-block of Swing Lane in Medford. Upon arrival, officers discovered the apartment had been struck by multiple rounds. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Through the course of the investigation, officers identified a possible suspect and a vehicle believed to be involved in the incident. Utilizing Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology, investigators located the suspect vehicle at approximately 9:45 a.m. in the parking lot of Walmart Supercenter (south location).
Officers deployed a drone to assist with surveillance and observed the suspect exiting his vehicle and walking toward the store. The individual was safely taken into custody before reaching the store and was arrested without incident.
The suspect, 33-year-old Bryce W. Kleinhanz, was transported to the Medford Police Department for an interview while detectives executed a search warrant on his vehicle, recovering evidence in this case. Kleinhanz was later lodged at the Jackson County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.
Investigators believe the suspect was known to the occupants of the apartment and that the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the involved parties.
There is no ongoing threat to the public and the firearm used in this incident has been recovered. This case remains under investigation, and no further information is being released at this time.
