Vicky Taft at PJ Media, Eight People Shot in Downtown Portland Mass Shooting as City Gets More Dangerous by the Day

Portland Police – what’s left of them – report that eight people were shot overnight in a mass shooting in downtown Portland. Portland Police reported that one of the victims had life-threatening injuries. No one died in the shooting. No arrests have been made.

The latest incident is just another example of the “skyrocketing” number of shootings seen by the anti-police city.

The latest shooting took place near where months of riots have taken place in 2020 and 2021.

Police had precious little information.

On Saturday, July 17, 2021 at 2:10a.m., Central Precinct officers responded to a report of multiple people shot in the 300 block of Southwest 3rd Avenue. When officers arrived they found many people injured. The officers initiated lifesaving measures and secured the scene for paramedics to respond. So far 8 patients have been located and transported to the hospital by ambulance. At least one is considered life threatening. There appeared to be both male and female adults hit by bullets.

The suspect or suspects left the scene before police were called and no one has been arrested. No suspect descriptions are being released at this time.

In fact, the short-handed cop shop didn’t even bother to send out a public information officer to gather first-person information for public consumption, according to the press release sent out on social media after the 2 a.m. shooting.

Sometime, you get what you vote for, good and hard.
