Portland Police Searching for Gunman Who Shot Moving Truck
Thursday, January 28, 2016
At roughly 2:13 AM East Precinct officers responded to a call on I-205 Southbound at Division Street that reported shot being fired at a tractor-trailer being driven on the freeway, flattening one of the tires.
Officers contacted the truck driver. The driver told police that he was driving south on I-205 in the right lane when someone in a “newer black SUV” with tinted windows pulled up next to him and fired multiple rounds at the driver’s side rear tire before speeding out of the area.
Officers found evidence of gunfire that was consistent with the truck driver’s statement. The driver did not see the shooter and was not able to provide a better description of the vehicle.
No similar incidents have been reported to police. Police said there is no evidence to suggest that this was a road rage incident.
Anyone with information pertaining to the shooting is asked to call Assault detectives at 503-823-0400.
