The shelter-in-place warning began after a person called the police. He told police he was on I-205 southbound near Northeast Airport Way and was being followed by, what later became, the suspect vehicle. 

Both cars left the freeway and police chased the suspect vehicle. Both Sevier and Roberts jumped out of the car, which rolled into a curb in the 3100 block of Northeast 51st Avenue.

With assistance from SWAT and the PPB Special Emergency Reaction Team was able to find both suspects. One was on the rood of an outbuilding and another was inside an unoccupied residence.

Both suspects have been booked into the Multnomah County jail
