BEAVERTON, Ore. – Beaverton Police say officers shot a man after he reportedly ignored orders to drop his weapon and advanced toward them.

The man, who was not identified, was taken to a local hospital. His condition was not immediately known.

Police spokesman Bryan Dalton says officers responded at 5 a.m. Saturday to a call reporting an unwanted person. Officers interviewed people at the scene and determined no crime had been committed.

Officers later returned to the location after learning there was an arrest warrant for a man who was involved.

Dalton says that when the officers returned, the man was armed and confronted them. The officers fired at about 7:25 a.m.

Dalton declined to release other details, including what weapon the man had, how many officers fired and what the arrest warrant was for.
