One person is dead following a police shooting Friday morning at Lents Park in southeast Portland. Police said that officers received a 911 call about a man with a gun in the park around 9:30 a.m. near the intersection of Southeast 92nd Avenue and Holgate Street. Officers responded, and at some point during the interaction, less lethal and lethal force was used. The man shot was provided medical aid but ultimately, was pronounced dead at the scene. There were no immediate details available on what led up to the shooting. During an afternoon press conference on the shooting, PPB's Acting Chief Chris Davis said their investigation was still in its preliminary stages and did not have information on if the man involved had pointed a gun at officers or if a gun had been recovered at the scene.
Damn pigs, man...c'mon.
