(OR)Attempted robbery suspect in Hermiston scared off when owner fires gun


Hermiston — A suspect allegedly trying to hold up a Hermiston convenience store ran away before getting any cash when the owner fired a handgun at him, police said.

Hermiston police are now offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

The attempted robbery occurred at 10:15 a.m. Saturday at Tienda la Comadre.

“Nothing was taken from inside the store, but we are treating this as an active investigation for the attempted robbery,” said Chief Jason Edmiston.

The suspect, who was wearing dark clothes, including a hooded sweatshirt, gloves and something covering his face, was in the store for only about 5 seconds before running out, Edmiston said.
