Weekend shootings in Portland, Seattle, Salem

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A shooting at the Gateway Shopping Center in Northeast Portland left one man injured on Labor Day, while other unrelated shootings occurred over the holiday weekend in Seattle and Salem.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that just before 3:25 a.m. Monday, Portland police responded to reports of gunfire at the shopping center.

Portland police spokesman Sgt. Chris Burley says officers searched for victims and found a man injured at WinCo Foods, which is across the street from the shopping center.

Police found evidence of gunfire between the Fred Meyer and Kohl’s stores. Burley says investigators think the man was shot between the two stores and then ran across the street.

He was taken to a hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Burley said police don’t have a suspect description, but investigators don’t believe the public is in danger.

Meanwhile, in Seattle, a person was hit in the leg by gunfire after people in a car shot at a group of others standing in a bus stop in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Emergency dispatchers received a call at 1:48 p.m. Monday reporting the incident, according to the Seattle Fire Department online log.

The Seattle Times reports that the group standing at the bus stop returned fire, and both groups fled.

Seattle police said the injured person’s life isn’t at risk.

The shooting occurred near 15th Avenue and East Union Street.

And in Salem, police say a person was hospitalized after being shot.

KATU-TV reports that police responded to reports of shots fired near Lancaster Drive Northeast and Sunnyview Road Northeast at 11:49 p.m. Sunday.

People in the area reported hearing multiple shots fired.

Police say the victim went to a hospital.

No one had been arrested by Monday.
