Police Investigate Shooting at Insurance CEO's Oregon Home: Reports

Police are investigating whether a shooting in Lake Oswego, Oregon, on Friday was targeting the home of Chip Terhune, the CEO of the State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIF) Corporation, an Oregon nonprofit workers' compensation insurance company.

The Context

Friday's shooting comes as the country continues to grapple with the high-profile killing last year of Brian Thompson, the former CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The former CEO's shooting spurred a national conversation about the healthcare system and the high costs Americans have to pay to get medical care.

Luigi Mangione, 26, is currently facing trial over Thompson's shooting.

What To Know

The Oregonian and KPTV reported that the incident occurred on Melrose Place, where Terhune lives. Authorities told both outlets they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and examining if it was a targeted attack.

The shooting caused minor damage to the home, including the front door, but no injuries have been reported, The Oregonian reported, citing local police.

Terhune sent an email to SAIF staff on Saturday evening updating them on the "security incident" at his home.

"We have received an email threat purporting to be from the person(s) responsible," Terhune wrote in the email, which was obtained by KPTV. "Although it does not target any specific employee, the email references knowledge of employee and relatives' names and addresses."

"Attached to the email was a list containing some of this information sourced from internet searches, including many inaccuracies," Terhune wrote. "Law enforcement is working diligently to investigate this matter and has asked that we not share any additional specific information about the actual email."

Terhune went on to say that the company would reach out to staffers who were mentioned in the alleged perpetrator's email to let them know what information was included about them.

"But we wanted to remind everyone to remain vigilant, aware of their surroundings, and to report any suspicious activity immediately," Terhune wrote.

He also included steps that SAIF employees can take to stay safe when visiting the company's offices, including reporting suspicious activity during work hours, moving their cars closer to the building if they work late, scanning their surroundings when leaving the building and calling a friend if they feel unsafe, and more.

What People Are Saying

A spokesperson for SAIF told The Oregonian: SAIF is "aware of the incident at our president and CEO's home."
