EUGENE, Ore. – A Eugene man found guilty of trying to murder a police officer is scheduled for sentencing in Lane County Circuit Court Wednesday.
A jury found Jordan Wilson, 56, guilty on charges of second-degree attempted murder with a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm.
The charges stem from an incident in July 2020 when officers were called for reports of a man menacing another man with a gun at a Eugene residence. Police said Wilson then ran to his home on Chambers Street. When police got there, Wilson opened his door and started to shoot at officers. Officers shot back but there were no injuries on either side.
