PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A man was killed and a teenager injured after dozens of shots were fired in the Buckman Neighborhood early Sunday morning, according to Portland police.
Just after 1 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 100 block of Southeast 9th Avenue. On arrival, they found a man and a 17-year-old boy injured.
Officers also found evidence suggesting dozens of shots had been fired, as well as multiple parked cars and other objects in the area struck by bullets.
Both the man and the teen were taken to the hospital, but the man soon died from his injuries. Authorities say the teen is expected to survive.
Police say they believe the suspect or suspects fired shots from a moving vehicle towards a group of people on a nearby sidewalk.
Several blocks around Southeast 9th Avenue and Southeast Ankeny Street were closed for the duration of the investigation. No arrests have been made, police say.
However, PPB said there were potential witnesses who left the scene before officers arrived and are encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
