This is not the first incident of gun violence in Portland's Old Town neighborhood. For example, just a few weeks prior, a shooting occurred on the same street where the most recent incident occurred. As a result of the shooting, one person is dead and the suspect(s) are at large. Neighborhood residents are understandably concerned about the prevalence of gun violence in the area and are calling for increased police presence and action to address the problem.

Portland has seen a significant increase in violent crime in recent months, with shootings and homicides on the rise. The police department has struggled to keep up with the rise in violent crime, and many residents feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods. Members of the public and city officials are increasingly talking about finding a solution to the problem before it spirals out of control.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the latest shooting in Old Town continues and police are asking anyone with info to come forward. The family and friends of the victim are grieving their loss, and the community is reeling from yet another senseless act of violence.
