Friday's incident began about 10:07 p.m. when Salem Police Officer Trevor Morrison made a traffic stop at Watson Avenue and Alameda Street NE, one block south of Eastgate Basin Park in northeast Salem. A cover officer was requested, a foot pursuit ensued and shortly thereafter shots were fired and the suspect was wounded, said Lt. Dave Okada, a spokesman for the Salem Police Department. Officers gave first aid to the woman until medics arrived. She was pronounced dead at Salem Hospital. Morrison was with police dog Baco at the time, and neither were injured. As officers gave aid and secured the scene, they found a gun near the suspect, Okada said in a press release.
