A 13-year veteran of the Hillsboro Police Department is accused of attempted aggravated murder after an incident at his Forest Grove residence that left a Washington County sheriff's deputy injured late Sunday.

Timothy Cannon, 46, is being held on $250,000 bail in the Washington County Jail, according to records.

The unidentified Washington County sheriff's deputy was injured after he had responded to a disturbance between Cannon and his wife at their home in the 1000 block of 37th Avenue.

Capt. Mike Herb, a Forest Grove police spokesman, said the suspect had barricaded himself inside the home.

Neighbors told The Oregonian Monday morning that they heard as many as 16 shots Sunday night, many in rapid succession. One neighbor reported hearing eight shots in rapid succession followed by another eight.

During the incident, police evacuated some residents from their homes.

Cannon's wife and 6-year-old daughter were not hurt. Hillsboro police say Cannon's wife called police to the residence at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Cannon was off-duty at the time.

Sgt. David Thompson, a sheriff's office spokesman, said detectives are still trying to piece together what occurred.
