PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say a man is wounded after an officer-involved shooting in North Portland that occurred during an “active tactical incident.”
The Oregonian reports gunfire broke out at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday as the Washington County sheriff’s tactical negotiations team and the Portland Police Bureau’s gang enforcement team approached a house.
Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson says the teams intended to serve a search warrant involving an earlier gang-related shooting.
The officers exchanged shots with a person in a nearby house. It wasn’t immediately clear who fired first.
