Chief Bob Day’s statement on the shooting at the time:
“Today a shooting occurred near an Islamic school and mosque between two people who knew one other. To be clear, this shooting was not a school shooting or a bias crime. Events like this one are a testament to the critical need for our strong partnership with the Muslim community. I am grateful to the members of the PPB Muslim Advisory Council for their continued support and direct engagement in community safety and well-being.”
One person was injured and another in custody following a shooting in the West Portland Park Neighborhood of Southwest Portland.
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, at approximately 2:23 p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to reports of a shooting involving two men in the 10200 Block of Southwest Capitol Highway. When they arrived, officers located an adult male who had been injured. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment. In addition, officers learned the adult male suspect in the shooting entered the Islamic School of Portland, but fortunately, he exited the building and was taken into custody without incident. Additional officers conducted a thorough search of the school to ensure that everyone was safe. A firearm was recovered.
The preliminary investigation has revealed the two men are known to each other and have a connection to the school and nearby mosque. Officers have also determined the shooting happened in the parking lot located at the top of a stairwell behind the school, and not inside the school itself.
PPB Command and Supervisors have been in touch with officials at the mosque, school and the members of the PPB Muslim Advisory Council.
PPB’s Enhanced Community Safety Team (ECST) responded to the scene to continue the investigation.
