Gunman Targets Oregon Insurance CEO's Home in Early Morning Shooting

SAIF CEO Chip Terhune's home was damaged by gunfire, with police investigating a possible link to a threatening email sent prior to the attack.

Chip Terhune, CEO of Oregon's nonprofit workers' compensation insurer SAIF, was inside his Lake Oswego home when gunshots shattered windows and doors around 4 a.m. on February 21.
Police released CCTV footage of the suspect, who was dressed in dark clothes with a hoodie or ski mask and carrying a light-colored object, fleeing the scene on foot and possibly using a nearby vehicle.
An email sent to SAIF staff revealed that Terhune received a threatening message from someone claiming responsibility for the attack, referencing employee and family information, though the motive remains unclear.
No injuries were reported, and authorities have described the shooting as a targeted attack, urging vigilance while the suspect remains at large.
The incident follows a similar high-profile case in December, where UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot, raising concerns about potential copycat crimes targeting corporate leaders.
