MEDFORD — Police in southern Oregon are searching for a naked gunman who allegedly fired shots at people who confronted him for performing “indecent acts” near a remote access road to a mountain lake.

Jackson County sheriff’s deputies said they were responding to a report that a 53-year old suspect, identified only as “Larry,” fired multiple gunshots at a group of three men and three women around 1 p.m. Monday near Howard Prairie Lake.

Deputies told the Mail Tribune in Medford the suspect left the area in a gray and blue pickup truck after firing the shots.
