The building was quickly contained by multiple Salem patrol officers, with a Marion County [Sheriff’s Office] canine unit responding to assist with the search,” the Salem Police Department said in a press release. “Officers issued commands for the suspect to surrender. The individual initially attempted to flee through the building but ultimately exited through the front door and was taken into custody without incident.”
