At least 5 shot at SE Portland ‘all ages’ party

At least five people were shot during a party early Sunday at a venue in southeast Portland, police said.

Two were taken to hospitals by ambulance and three others by private vehicles, all with non-life-threatening wounds, officers said. At least three were released from the hospital after treatment.

Police were called around 12:40 a.m. to the reported shooting at an “all-ages”-type party in a warehouse-type building in the 200 block of Southeast Madison Street, officers said.

“Officers responding to the original call encountered a chaotic scene, with people leaving on foot and in vehicles,” police said in an update late Sunday afternoon.

“Investigators learned that there was an argument between at least two people immediately before the shooting,” the police statement said. “But they believe that numerous potential witnesses left without providing statements to police.”

Officers said they had no suspect information to release Sunday afternoon as the investigation continued.
