At 2 am Saturday morning, there was a shooting in downtown Portland. Seven people were hit and one of them, an 18-year-old woman named Makayla Maree Harris, later died from her injuries. Police believe the shooting may have involved gangs but aren’t sure yet because some witnesses fled the scene before police could talk to them.
That was only one of four shootings that police responded to within four hours early Saturday morning. One of the other shootings was also deadly, bringing the number of homicides in the city this year up to 51. In response to the ongoing violence, Mayor Wheeler said it was clear police did not have enough resources and vowed to fight for more officers.
