Two people shot by federal agents in Portland, Oregon, local police and FBI say
Two people are hospitalized after they were shot by federal agents, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement.
It is not immediately clear what their conditions are. The FBI Portland office said in a post on X that the shooting involved Customs and Border Protection agents and they are leading the investigation.
Today at 2:18 p.m. PT, Portland police officers responded to the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street for a report of a shooting, the release said. Officers confirmed federal agents had been involved in the shooting, they said.
At 2:24 p.m., officers responded to a man and a woman who had been shot near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside, where they were transported to the hospital, the release said. It is not immediately clear why the different locations were reported.
“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” said Chief Bob Day. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”
CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for further information.

A Bluesky post
KATU ABC reporting the shooting happened by an awning at the medical center where there must be video cameras so there should be footage of the shooting.
The lack of clarity and the information chaos is high but I tend to agree with the poster.
Trump is saying it's open season on the poor.
