Roseburg Police have updated information following a shooting investigation on Sunday.

An RPD report said officers responded to the 1500 block of Southeast Booth Avenue at about 2:40 p.m. after it was reported that 33-year old Savannah Gilkey had discharged a firearm several times.

The suspect then attempted to leave her home but her pickup was boxed in by deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Gilkey reportedly had a pistol in the pickup and 2 more in the house. Her vehicle was towed as a hazard as it was left parked in the street.

Gilkey was charged with 5 counts of unlawful use of a weapon, 2 counts each of pointing a firearm at another and menacing and for 5 counts of recklessly endangering another person. Bail was set at $306,250.
