First responding officers located a female victim in a vehicle on Bush St., and was transported to Rogue Medical Center with life threatening injuries.
Medford Police Officers, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police located a male suspect on foot just after 8:00am on North 5th Street in Central Point and was taken into custody.
