Officers with the Grants Pass Police Department and Oregon State Troopers responded to a report of a man firing a gun at the Josephine County Fairgrounds around midnight. While officers searched the area for the man, Asante Three Rivers Medical Center which is across Highway 199 from the fairgrounds, was placed on lockdown.
The police department explained by the time officers arrived on the scene, the suspect had already left the fairgrounds.
"A private party was being held at the Fairgrounds and the suspect fired a firearm into the ceiling of the building," the agency reported. "The suspect's connection to the event is still being determined."
No one was injured at the party and the investigation is ongoing.
"The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 30-40 years of age, approximately 5'10 with dark hair," police added. "He was wearing a green and black shirt with blue jeans."
The man left the fairgrounds in a dark-colored pickup but it is not known in which direction he went.
Police ask if anyone has information regarding the shooting, to contact Detective Justin Hoy at 541-450-6343.
