Clackamas County Identifies Deceased Male Subject
September 9th, 2005 3:37 PM
he Clackamas County Sheriffs Office has been informed that a positive
identification has been completed concerning the naked and combative
male subject, who was subsequently shot and killed by police on SE 362,
in Sandy.
This shooting victim is identified as: FOUAD KAADY, WMA,
01-08-78. Fouad Kaady resided in the Gresham area. No criminal history
to report, or mugg photo available to publish.
Fouad Kaady is the male subject who is reported to have been involved
with a series of hit and run vehicular accidents on Bluff Road, which
triggered rescue personnel responding from the City of Sandy and the
Clackamas County Sheriffs Office to the area.
While this response was being conducted by rescue personnel,
additional reports of a citizen assault was received, in conjunction to
the hit and run suspect vehicle being engulfed in flames on Bluff Road.
Reportedly, a Good Samaritan working as a surveyor in the area
indicates the subject he attempted to help, who was standing naked in
the woods near the flaming vehicle, and kicked him in the chest as he
attempted to render aid.
Additional information has been investigated where a female
witness/victim reports this naked subject had advanced from Bluff Road
and was running along SE 362. This female driver reports this subject
had jumped, naked onto her moving vehicle and was pounding on the
sunroof of this vehicle prior to his encounter with police. This
encounter did not create any addition accidents or injuries to this
female driver.
A short time later Fouad Kaady engaged the Clackamas County Sheriffs
Deputy and the Sandy Police Officer who had arrived in the area of SE
362. It was during this engagement Fouad Kaady was subsequently
discovered to be combative and totally unresponsive to the audible law
enforcement commands to comply, or the Tasering deployed by both
officers on the scene.
Reportedly, Fouad Kaady was out of control and on top of the patrol
vehicle for a period of time.
Fouad Kaady was shot by at least one [emphasis on at least one] of
the two law enforcement officers on the scene representing the Clackamas
County Sheriffs Office and the Sandy Police Department.
It is expected the officers involved will continue to be on paid
Administrative leave, which is customary in these types of situations.
The involved officers names will be released in the next 24 hours.
The Oregon State Medical Examiners Office has conducted the autopsy
of Fouad Kaady earlier today. The results of this autopsy examination
will be released at the appropriate time when completed. Please
recognize the toxicology examinations alone require at least two to
three weeks to complete.
The Clackamas County Sheriffs Office is requesting if any member of
the public has information related to this on going investigation to
please come forward and contact the Clackamas County Sheriffs Office at
503-723-4949.

Clackamas County Sheriff's Office / Sandy Incident Update
September 8th, 2005 9:10 PM
Recapping the officer involved shooting that occurred earlier on SE
362nd, in Sandy:
A reported hit and run accident was reported on Bluff Road and
involved a female victim who reported she was struck from the rear in
her vehicle while driving on Bluff Road at approximately 1:30 PM.
This female victim of the hit and run was transported with non-life
threatening injuries and later released from medical attention.
This reported suspect vehicle was then reported to have struck at
least one additional vehicle at about this same point in time, in the
same area. Investigators are attempting to determine if this suspect
vehicle struck additional vehicles during this same time period.
Responding rescue was then alerted to a brush fire a short distance
from the initial hit and run location. It was discovered this fire was
the suspect vehicle, totally involved with fire, on the south side of
the roadway on Bluff Road.
In addition, a male witness reports the suspect of this hit and run
suspect vehicle physically assaulted this witness near the scene of this
fire. This witness described this suspect as combative and may have been
armed with a handgun in the woods.
While all of this activity was being addressed: A responding Sandy
Police Officer and a Clackamas County Sheriffs Deputy responded to a
report of a man running naked on SE 362; a short distance from the
reported hit and run location on Bluff Road, the vehicle fire and
assault location.
Both the Deputy and Sandy Officer confronted this naked, male subject
on SE 362 in the middle of the roadway. This subject did not respond to
the law enforcement commands and was out of control. Subsequently, both
the Deputy and Sandy Officer utilized a non-lethal force, in the form of
a Taser gun to gain control of this subject. This deployment of the
Taser did not enable these law enforcement personnel to gain control of
this subject. At one point, it is reported the suspect had maneuvered
himself onto the top of the patrol vehicle at the scene. It was
ultimately deemed necessary, by at least one of these officers [emphasis
on at least one], to transition to lethal force and shoot the subject to
reduce the threat imposed. This suspect died at the scene and this
investigation is continuing.
Obviously, the scope of this investigation is very involved and
covers a wide area the suspect had negotiated from beginning to end,
over a 30 minute time period from beginning to end.
It is expected to take considerable time to contact and interview all
the known witnesses at this time, and to adequately conduct a search of
the area on foot. Which includes investigators canvassing the area for
additional potential witnesses.
The Sheriffs Office is encouraging anyone with information related to
this series of events to please contact the Clackamas County Sheriffs
Office to report this critical information.
The deceased suspect has been fingerprinted, and additional efforts
to identify this individual will continue appropriately.
Please recognize the enormous scope of this ongoing investigation,
which is expected to continue into the coming weekend.
As is customary in these types of investigations, the law enforcement
personnel involved will be provided with Administrative leave
opportunities to enable them to decompress from this traumatic
experience. The names of these personnel involved will be released at an
appropriate point in time.
The community where this occurred can be assured the situation is
under control and no addition threat to the citizens exists from this
unfortunate incident.
An investigators debriefing is expected at around noon on Friday.
Detective Strovink will provide any additional information which may
come available as a result of this debriefing session.
Any additional information related to this investigation will be
provided to the media in a timely fashion as received by this office.
