the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
Alaina Burns, 31, died at the scene, the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The trooper who killed Burns is on paid leave -- standard procedure after a fatal police shooting. The Sheriff’s Office did not release the trooper’s name.
Deputies responded to the neighborhood near Sunset Beach Monday afternoon after a homeowner reported that a woman he didn’t know had walked into his unlocked house in the 33000 block of Oregon Lane. Burns sequestered herself on the second floor in a room that had guns, sheriff’s officials said.
