1 dead, 5 injured in shooting near Normandale Park in Northeast Portland
Portland police confirmed that one person was killed and at least five others were injured in a shooting near a demonstration Saturday night. Police took two people into custody in relation to the shooting, according to media reports.
In a statement, the Portland Police Bureau said officers from its North Precinct responded to a call near the intersection of Northeast 55th Avenue and Northeast Hassalo Street around 8 p.m.
“When officers arrived they located a female victim who was deceased,” the bureau said in a press statement. “Additional shooting victims, two men and three women, were transported to area hospitals and their status is unknown at this time.”
The shooting happened near Normandale Park. According to flyers circulated on social media, a group of demonstrators had plans to gather at the park for a “Justice for Amir Locke” event. Minneapolis police killed the 22-year-old Locke, a Black man, after serving a no-knock warrant on a downtown apartment Feb. 2.
Several demonstrators on scene told OPB they saw a person come out of a nearby home and confront a group of about 50 protesters. The person then reportedly shot at the crowd of people. It was not immediately clear if more than one person used a weapon.
This year is going to be a hot one.
NYT reports alt right was ready to deal death that night. Not sure of details. Police aren't even sure if there was only one shooter.
This image tells me it wasn't just a neighbor who opened fire. "Patriot"'s rig (that's the rear view of a a dump trailer) was shot up too. Or maybe his windshield just looks shattered.
Feels like the wild west is here again.
The whole story is yet to be told. Give it a few days.
