Rainier renter accused of shooting landlord

RAINIER, Ore. (KOIN) — A 28-year-old man is in jail, arrested after a dispute ended in a shooting.

The Columbia County Sheriff said his agency responded to the shooting in Rainier just after 11:00 Thursday morning.

Deputies say there was a dispute between David Sorrell, who rents a room in a building on the property, and 20-year-old Brandon McKay, who lives in the main residence with his family.

During the dispute, Sorrell allegedly grabbed a 12-gauge shotgun and fired at McKay. Four rounds were fired, one hit a vehicle and another hit McKay. He is expected to be ok.

After the shooting, Sorrell drove away in a grey Honda Civic. He was eventually pulled over on Highway 30 about 30 minutes later.

Sorrel faces attempted murder and assault charges. It is unclear what sparked the dispute.
