PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Police say two men were shot and wounded Tuesday evening in downtown Portland and one of them has been taken into custody.
Sgt. Pete Simpson says preliminary information indicates that both men live in the same building and the dispute between them may have been a robbery. Witnesses tell police there was a disturbance in a parking lot behind the building and the victim ran to a nearby Safeway store entrance to wait for medical help. He was shot in the leg.
Officers located the suspect, who also had a gunshot wound to the leg, and took a handgun from him. Simpson says it’s possible that man accidentally shot himself.
Both men were taken to hospitals for treatment.
Robbery detectives are investigating.
