PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man was shot and injured by another man after allegedly causing a disturbance in downtown Portland Thursday night, authorities say.At around 9:15 p.m., Portland police officers arrived near 600 Northwest Naito Parkway after the shooting and found a man with a single gunshot injury. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
An early investigation found multiple calls were made about the man who was shot, as he had been observed “aggressively banging on apartment windows,” according to PPB.
Two private security officers tried convince the man to leave when they say he charged at another man passing by. Authorities say the passerby tried to get away, but the man kept charging at him.
This prompted the passerby to shoot the man, according to police. The security officers then seized the gun and held it for police until they responded to the scene.

“…seized the gun and held it for the police…” Maybe if the Security Guards had of seized the perp, the armed citizen wouldn’t have had to defend himself.
Knife to a gunfight. *sigh* Not sure why KHOU is suppressing self defense stories. They were a go to for years. Rest in Pieces, Mr. Stabby.
Home boi FA & FO.

It’s an election year. We can’t have citizens defending themselves. Not when the state can do it for them..

“…..seized the gun..”
The Paul Blart Mall Kops should’a given him a round to replace the one he shot and send him on his way with a handshake and a pat on the back, with a promise of beers at the bar later.
At 67 y.o., a prison sentence isn’t the deterrent if he were younger.
Prison; three hots & a cot, free medical, dental, & education.
Portland: So they seize the gun. What happen to the dude who shot the miscreant? Self-defense and not charged or what? Did he just run away? Do they know who he is? Reported news leaves so much to think about. They should have bought that man beer and sent home on his way for taking care of the perp. And given him his gun back too.
Harris County: sounds like they already know what happened. Why screw around, release the defender. More tax dollars to the wind.
Soros DA.
Wasn’t someone dissin’ the M17 just a day or two ago?
