A handgun recovered inside the apartment was seized by Keizer Police.
KEIZER) - Major police activity in Keizer involving a standoff and evacuations of an apartment complex ended peacefully after five hours today. Police Spokesman Jeff Kuhns says the suspect, a disabled veteran, was transported for mental health care after being taken into custody.
It began Tuesday at 11:04 AM when officers from the Keizer Police Department responded to 5075 10th Avenue NE #102, the New Heritage Village Apartments, in response to a call from the apartment complex manager.
According to Kuhns, the manager reported a tenant, later identified as 51-year old Gary Edmond Hardin, had called him ten minutes earlier and stated he wanted to kill himself. The manager told police that Hardin was a disabled veteran.
"Officers were told this subject possessed a .45 caliber handgun. He was said to reside alone at this location."
Kuhns says four Keizer Police officers responded to the location and attempted to make contact with Hardin to check on his welfare.
"One officer was able to contact Mr. Hardin twice on a telephone. On both occasions Mr. Hardin spoke unintelligibly and disconnected these calls. Further attempts by the officers on scene to contact him were unsuccessful."
