Man killed in Horning’s Hideout shooting ID’d, brother named person of interest

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The owner of Horning’s Hideout in North Plains has been identified as the victim of a deadly shooting on the property on Tuesday.

Washington County Sheriff’s Office identified the victim as 47-year-old Carl Horning and say deputies believe his brother is a person of interest in the ongoing homicide investigation. In addition, Horning was identified by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue as a lieutenant among their ranks.

Around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to a reported shooting at the hideout on Northwest Brunswick Canyon Road, where they found a man — later identified as Carl Horning — with multiple gunshot wounds.

Officials said Horning died despite aid from the first responding deputy. According to state records, Horning was the owner of the hideout.

Deputies say his brother, 63-year-old Robert Horning, was detained at the scene and released hours later.

Fire department: ‘Tragic loss’

Stefan L. Myers, a spokesperson for TVF&R, said in a statement the fire department was “experiencing a tragic loss.”

The fire department said Horning was originally hired in 2011 by the Washington County Fire District #2 as a firefighter. However, when TVF&R annexed an area that was previously served by that department, Horning became an employee of the fire department in Tualatin in 2016.

Last year, Horning was promoted to the rank of lieutenant at TVF&R.
