Just after 2:15 p.m. today, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received reports of an armed person at Fruitland Elementary School in NE Salem. The school immediately went into lockdown, and within minutes deputies arrived on scene.
Deputies located a 53-year-old female matching the description across the street from the school. She was identified as Janet Ogren of Salem and taken into custody. Deputies also located a handgun nearby.
Ogren was lodged at the Marion County Jail on the following charges:
- Disorderly Conduct
- Unlawful Use of a Weapon
- Resisting Arrest
We want to thank the Salem-Keizer School District staff for their quick actions in calling 911, as well as all of the deputies who swiftly responded to ensure the safety of the students and staff.
