PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A man has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a shooting which killed one woman and injured another in Corvallis Saturday evening, authorities say.
Just before 7:30 p.m., Corvallis Police Department officers responded to a report of a shooting at a home in the 1900 block of Northwest Highland Drive.
