HILLSBORO POLICE RESPOND TO REPORTED BULLET AT ISLAMIC COMMUNITY CENTER - On Saturday, March 21, 2026, the Hillsboro Police Department responded to a report of a bullet found inside the Islamic Community Center of Hillsboro. The building was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and no injuries were reported.  
  
We understand that an incident like this, particularly at a place of worship and so soon after a significant religious observance, causes fear and anxiety. We want to acknowledge the impact this has had on members of the Islamic Community Center and the broader community. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their place of worship.  
  
From the moment this was reported, the Hillsboro Police Department launched a comprehensive investigation. Detectives conducted extensive scene analysis, reviewed available video, processed evidence, and followed leads well beyond the immediate area.  
  
Through this detailed work, investigators determined the bullet was likely fired from a location approximately one mile away, outside Hillsboro city limits, where individuals were lawfully target shooting. These individuals are fully cooperating with our investigation. Evidence indicates the round that entered the building was an errant projectile, possibly a ricochet, that traveled an extended distance before striking the structure.  
  
Currently, there is no evidence indicating that the Islamic Community Center was intentionally targeted. Detectives have consulted with the Washington County District Attorney’s Office. Should any evidence of a crime emerge, the case will be referred for their review.   
  
We want to be clear that even when an incident is determined to be accidental, the fear it creates is real. We take that impact seriously and remain committed to the safety and well-being of all community members.  
  
Chief Jim Coleman stated, “While the findings indicate this was not an intentional act, we understand the fear it caused in our community, and we support those affected. From the start, our detectives conducted a detailed and careful investigation to identify the facts. I am proud of their dedication and professionalism. We remain committed to keeping everyone in Hillsboro safe.”  
  
Mayor Beach Pace added, “Part of who we are in Hillsboro is standing up for each other whenever there is a potential threat to safety or well-being, including the ability to worship. I am very proud of the quick and thorough response of the Hillsboro Police Department in finding out the source of the bullet. Hillsboro stands in solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters and their right to congregate and worship safely, and we want to make sure that they and everyone in Hillsboro are safe.”  
  
The Hillsboro Police Department will continue working closely with our community and community partners to support a safe environment for all.Photos from Hillsboro Police Department's post Featured News by Hillsboro Police Department
