Late Wednesday afternoon, the Multnomah County Medical Examiner released the autopsy report for Patrick Kimmons, who died last month after being shot by two Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers.

The report was released just hours after a Multnomah County Grand Jury found that the officers were not at fault for Kimmons’ death. Police maintain Kimmons was running toward the officers with a weapon at the time of the shooting;his family and protestors say there is more to the story and demand a full, unedited video of the shooting be released.

Kimmons’ family and demonstrators gathered at SW 4th and Main yesterday to protest the grand jury’s finding. At that protest, a man was arrested for driving his truck into the crowd and hitting one protestor, who was identified by fellow protestors at the scene as Portland activist Teressa Raiford.

The Multnomah County autopsy report found Kimmons died due to multiple gunshot wounds in his chest, legs, thighs, and buttocks. Police shot Kimmons at around 3 am on Sept 30; the autopsy report says he was transported to Oregon Health Science University and was still awake and answering questions at 3:24 am.

Doctors attempted a blood transfusion and a cardiac massage. Kimmons’ declared time of death was 4:10 am.
