Woman Taken Into Custody After Nine-Hour Standoff

A 51-year-old Parkdale woman was taken into custody early Wednesday morning after barricading herself in her home for nine hours.  According to the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, Lisa Vieira fired several shots at a deputy after the officer arrived at her home to check on her welfare just before 5 p.m. Tuesday.  The deputy was able to safely retreat from the immediate area while Vieira barricaded herself in the residence.  Tactical team members from the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, The Dalles Police Department, Sherman County Sheriff’s Office, and Oregon State Police responded to the home, and at around 2 a.m. Wednesday Vieira surrendered peacefully to an Oregon State Police SWAT Team, ending the standoff without injury.  Vieira was lodged at NORCOR in The Dalles on charges of attempted aggravated murder, recklessly endangering another person, and pointing a firearm at another.  The Sheriff’s Office had received a call from a distraught female, then got a call from her employer to report she had not been to work for the last several days, leading to the deputy going to the residence.  The Columbia Gorge Major Crimes Team is continuing the investigation.
