On July 7, 2021, at approximately 2:44 a.m., officers from the Medford Police Department responded to a business alarm at the Allergy and Asthma Center located at 3860 Crater Lake Avenue in Medford, Oregon. Upon arrival, officers discovered evidence of forced entry and organized a standoff. At approximately 3:05 a.m., 34-year-old Jerry Allen Gunter exited the building and advanced toward officers while armed with a knife.
