PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police are investigating an apparent gang-related exchange of gunfire involving four men on a MAX light rail platform in east Portland.

No injuries were reported in the Thursday night shooting. Callers reported hearing as many as six shots. The Oregonian says one person who called police said a shot went through a window and three interior walls of an apartment.

Police say video from the area shows three young men on the platform talking to an older man. A confrontation developed and shots were fired.

The three young men have been arrested — a 16-year-old booked into juvenile detention for investigation of attempted murder and two adults booked for probation violations. Lt. Robert King says officers haven’t identified the older man.
