From: Deputy Chief Krag Campbell
Case or Incident: #2024-07060033
On 07/06/2024, at about 11:07 A.M., the Juneau Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from an unidentified male saying there was a shooting at Fred Meyer in Juneau. The caller hung up but called back soon afterward, providing the alleged name of the person responsible for the shooting. JPD responded to Fred Meyer and everything was fine. Responding officers contacted staff who were unaware of any emergency at the store.
Officers located the caller at a residence on Tongass Blvd and identified him as a 22-year-old male Juneau resident. The threats were determined to be fictitious and there was never anyone in danger. The caller was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation.
All factual allegations contained in this release are based upon preliminary investigation and are subject to change or clarification as the investigation continues. Any charges reported in this release are merely accusations and all persons named in this release are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
