UPDATE: Suspect Fired Shots and Pointed Gun at Police

Press Release

June 6, 2025 6:02 pm

The incident began on Friday, June 6, 2025 at 3:43 p.m., when Portland Police Officers assigned to North Precinct responded to a disturbance call in the 4600 block of Northeast 116^th Avenue where 2 men were reportedly fighting. Officers arrived and found a possible suspect identified in the call, who was briefly detained for the investigation. No crime victim was found, and the suspect was released to go to his home, which was nearby. According to dispatch logs, the officers cleared the scene at 4:53 p.m.

At 5:06 p.m., Officers responded to another call in the same block, that the man was back out in the street holding a gun and fired a shot. An on-duty Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was in the area, heard the call come out, and stopped to assist. As officers were coming into the area, the sounds of additional gunshots were reported. The Deputy worked with PPB Officers to challenge the suspect with the gun in the middle of Northeast 116^th Avenue just south of Northeast Sandy Boulevard, and the suspect pointed the handgun at the uniformed law enforcement officers. The MCSO deputy fired a round from his patrol rifle. The suspect dropped the gun. Officers summoned emergency medical services (EMS), then the officers moved in and provided trauma first aid until EMS arrived. The man was transported to the hospital by ambulance for treatment. He was seriously injured but his prognosis is unknown. His identity is not being released at this time. 

Officers secured the crime scene. A semiautomatic handgun was seized as evidence. 

The Portland Police Homicide Unit responded to the scene to lead the investigation. Because the incident involved a MCSO Deputy, the East County Major Crimes Team (ECMCT) also responded to the scene to assist. The ECMCT is made up of detectives with MCSO, the Gresham Police Department, the Port of Portland Police Department, and Oregon State Police. Chief Bob Day and Sheriff Nicole Morrisey-O’Donnell responded to the scene as well. 

Preliminary investigation revealed that another area resident fired shots during this incident. That resident, an adult male, remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. No arrests have been made. 

No officers, deputies, or community members were hurt. Detectives have documented some property damage from the exchange of gunfire between the suspect and the neighbor.

Witnesses, both community members and law enforcement officers, are being interviewed by Detectives. If anyone has information about this incident and has not already talked to police, please contact Detective Brian Sims at brian.sims@police.portlandorego… 503-823-2079 or Detective Meghan Burkeen at meghan.burkeen@police.portlando… 503-823-2092.
