The incident began at approximately 1:15 a.m. on June 29, when Luke Stolarzyk, 32, began yelling at Stephens Creek Crossing apartment resident Kenneth Nelson about Nelson’s dog escaping from his apartment, The Oregonian reported.

According to court documents, the men argued loud enough to alert John Dickson, one of Nelson’s friends.

Police said Stolarzyk was visibly intoxicated during the exchange.

Dickson then confronted Stolarzyk, who allegedly tried to hit him in the face with a gun before the two returned to their apartments, police said.

Shortly thereafter, Stolarzyk allegedly showed up at Nelson’s home armed with an AR-15. According to court documents, he opened fire in Nelson’s direction, spraying several apartment buildings and vehicles with bullets.

Police later said Stolarzyk fired a total of 29 rounds during the reckless attack, Pamplin Media Group reported.

“It’s scary because there are a lot of kids that live in this complex and he literally shot up rooms,” resident Misty Garrett told the media outlet.

Nelson attempted to flee when Dickson approached the active shooter from behind and hit him with a stick, The Oregonian reported. Dickson wrestled with Stolarzyk for control of the rifle and was able to use his knee to pry it from the suspect’s hands, according to court documents.

Police responded to the scene and arrested Stolarzyk. According to police, they arrived and found “several people around the defendant, who was bound and beaten,” reported the Post Millennial
