An 18-year-old Vancouver man was killed early Wednesday morning in a single-vehicle crash in Camas.
Camas police officers and firefighters were dispatched about 12:13 a.m. to the 900 block of Northeast Third Avenue for a report of a serious traffic crash.
The Camas Police Department said in a news release that the responders found a Pontiac G6 on its roof with two people inside.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has announced that it will enforce a controversial gun-control measure handily passed by voters last November.
The announcement came Saturday morning in a brief statement posted to Facebook that noted that while Initiative 1639 was being challenged in court, the sheriff’s office intended to heed the new law for now.
The Vancouver Police Department has identified the officer who fired his weapon and was injured in a Tuesday night police chase and gun battle from Vancouver to Portland.
Vancouver police Officer James Porter, 28, fired his weapon during the chase and was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening, according to a department press release. He was placed on critical incident leave, standard department protocol in an officer-involved shooting, the press release said.
Since the measles outbreak began about a month ago, Kaley McLachlan-Burton has developed a routine.
She returns home from work, lays on the floor and yells: “Puppy pile.” Her Chihuahua mixes, Birdie and Bobby, race to envelop her.
“That’s been a nice release to go home at night and play with dogs,” said McLachlan-Burton, an environmental outreach specialist with Clark County Public Health.
The 192-unit K West Apartments in central Vancouver is beginning to lease up. It’s the largest income-restricted project built in response to Clark County’s lack of affordable housing.
K West is restricted to households earning 60 percent of the area median income or less, which works out to $48,840 for a family of four, $39,120 for a couple or $34,200 for a single person. Rents are $843 for a one-bedroom, $1,009 for a two-bedroom and $1,164 for a three-bedroom unit.
