Shooting may be gang related and did not take place inside the school

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Three student-age people were shot outside a North Portland school in what police said may be a gang-related shooting.

The shooter was never inside Rosemary Anderson High School, PPB Sgt. Pete Simpson told the media in an impromptu press conference, and the shooting took place outside on Killingsworth Court. The school is located at 717 North Killingsworth Court

Two males and one female were shot, Simpson said, and they ran into the school after being shot. He did not have any word on their condition, but said they were conscious and breathing when they were taken to the hospital.

The gang task force is at the school, and administration at the school is being briefed.

1. It happened again. Thanks, NRA FREAKS!

[hack89]

2. So the NRA is responsible for violent drug gangs? Didn't know that. Nt

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

3. They are greatly responsible for the radical gun nuts

[hack89]

6. I thought radical gun nuts are white racist right wingers

You saying the term encompasses urban drug gangs?

[heaven05]

4. No, the guns, not the gangs

[hack89]

7. We should make it illegal for underaged criminals to own guns

I am with you on that.

[NaturalHigh]

10. I agree! Why haven't we done that yet?

Oh wait...

12. avoid arguing with dogmatic ideologues when his sacred cows are being referred to.

I've found life is more effective if we avoid arguing with dogmatic ideologues when his sacred cows are being referred to. They will translate the words of others as inaccurately as possible to reduce the heat, and often cower behind that mistranslation as a shield from criticism, and use it as a premise for the next invalid critique.

It's wildly popular with pasquinades.

8. You should probably go back and actually read the article

as you seem to wrongly think this was a school shooting.

[VScott]

17. I have yet to see Wayne LaPierre throwing gang signs to the cameras...

or a gang member sporting a Real Tree®hunting jacket and an NRA baseball cap.

5. Just another day in America

Or the rapidly-decaying corpse of what used to be America.

[hack89]

9. The America that is significantly less violent then it was 20 years ago?

Is that the America you are referring to?

[Derek V]

11. You are talking quantities

Check of the QUALITIES of these crimes. We're in deep shit!

[hack89]

15. The 80s and 90s were eras of many mass shootings

So I am not sure what you are trying to say.

16. He is only armed with a gun, do not fear, folks, he could be armed with a car, cars kill more people.

18. Update: 4 people shot outside Portland, Ore., high school: police

Three teenagers and a 20-year-old man were shot and wounded on Friday outside a Portland, Oregon, alternative high school when a gunman thought to have gang ties opened fire following a dispute, police said.

The suspect, believed to be in his late-teens or early-20s, fled the scene with two other males following the shooting less than a block from Rosemary Anderson High School and all three remained at large several hours later, said Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau.

A 16-year-old girl who was struck by the gunfire shortly after noon outside the school in north Portland was rushed to a local hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, Simpson said.

A 17-year-old boy and 20-year-old man were in serious condition at the same hospital and a 19-year-old female was treated and released after being grazed in the foot by a bullet.

Simpson said all of the victims were affiliated in some way with Rosemary Anderson and ran to the school following the shooting, where they received initial treatment as it was placed on lockdown.
