On Wednesday, July 1, at approximately 10:46 p.m., Multnomah County Sheriff’s patrol deputies responded to a report of a shooting in the 4400 Block of SE 302nd Ave. in unincorporated Multnomah County. When deputies arrived, they located one adult male suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital. He is expected to survive.
Deputies learned the alleged shooter was still on the property and repeatedly hailed for the man to surrender. When he did not immediately exit the home, deputies requested available SWAT members to assist. After 45 minutes, shortly after midnight, the man, identified as Robert Raymond Gillis Jr., 66, exited a building on his own and was arrested without incident. Gillis was booked on charges of attempted murder, assault in the first degree and unlawful use of a weapon.
There is no threat to the public. This an ongoing investigation. We’d like to recognize the outstanding work by MCSO patrol deputies and Gresham Police officers to bring this to a peaceful end. No further information can be released at this time.
