Deputies determined that the suspect unlawfully obtained two firearms from his father’s secured cabinet within a RV
A 27-year-old man was taken into custody by Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies after firing multiple rounds from a firearm while inside a recreational vehicle (RV) Friday in Hazel Dell.
On Friday (June 8) at 10:09 a.m., deputies responded to 7603 NE 13th Avenue (Vancouver RV Park) after a 9-1-1 caller reported he was being threatened by an unknown person. The caller, later identified as Washington resident Andrew James Ziegler, stated he was now alone and that the person threatening him was not there. Ziegler stated that he had armed himself with a gun.
While deputies arrived, multiple gunshots were heard from Ziegler’s RV. Ziegler surrendered to deputies after firing multiple rounds from a firearm within his RV.
The initial investigation showed that the firing of the rounds were not intended to harm deputies, but were to solicit a police response by Ziegler. Deputies were unable to substantiate Ziegler’s claims of being threatened, and found that Ziegler unlawfully obtained two firearms from his father’s secured cabinet within the RV.
No other persons were harmed during this incident, and the investigation is still active. Ziegler was booked into the Clark County Law Enforcement Center for Aiming or Discharge of a Firearm and two counts of Theft of a Firearm.
This investigation is still active.
