FBI Probes CBP Agent Shooting That Wounded Two in Portland

The episode intensified local calls to pause federal immigration operations pending answers.

Overview

  • Portland police responded around 2:18 p.m. to reports of gunfire on Southeast Main Street in the Hazelwood area and later found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside.
  • Officers applied tourniquets and both people were transported to a hospital, with their identities and conditions not publicly released.
  • The FBI said the incident involved U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and is leading the investigation; the bureau later deleted its social media post announcing that detail.
  • Portland police said their officers were not involved, secured two scenes, and closed a stretch of East Burnside westbound between Northeast 145th and 148th avenues.
  • City officials urged calm, and Mayor Keith Wilson called for ICE to suspend operations in Portland pending a full investigation a day after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
