On Thursday, January 5, 2023 at 11:42a.m., Portland Police Bureau officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 3300 block of North Interstate Avenue.
They located an injured victim and provided trauma first aid. They also located a tent that was actively burning. Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) and American Medical Response Paramedics arrived to treat the patient and extinguish the fire.
