Gun violence once again rocked Portland, Oregon late Monday night, underscoring the growing lawlessness that has plagued the city for years. Two Portland police officers were wounded in a shooting that erupted during a tense encounter in Northeast Portland, triggering an urgent manhunt for an armed and dangerous suspect.
According to city officials, the shooting unfolded at approximately 9:36 p.m. Police had been dispatched to the area near Northeast 17th Avenue and Northeast Clackamas Street after reports of a suspicious individual. What followed was a brief but violent confrontation that left two officers injured and a shaken community once again asking hard questions about public safety in a city long dominated by radical activism and soft-on-crime leadership.
The incident occurred as unrest continued elsewhere in Portland. Journalist Andy Ngo highlighted the broader context of the violence in a post on X, writing:
“Two @PortlandPolice officers were shot in NE Portland as leftist and Antifa rioters occupied the ICE facility in south Portland. The officers’ conditions are not confirmed.”
Both officers were rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Thankfully, authorities later confirmed that they were in stable condition. Detective Jon Richardson addressed the situation, stating that the officers’ injuries were not life-threatening, according to ABC News.
