A Portland police officer shot someone today during what Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said was an attempted traffic stop of a stolen car associated with a bank robbery.

The unnamed person (the “suspect”) is still alive, the bureau says, and was taken to a hospital. A cop at the scene had “a minor injury and is being treated at the scene.”

It happened on NE 55th St, just off Burnside.

That’s all the information we have right now. We’ll update the story when we know more.

  1. Portland Police Shoot Suspect Accused of Armed Bank Robbery After he Flees in Stolen Vehicle.

    There I fixed the headline so it doesn’t read like Barney Fife bumbled his one bullet into a hapless citizen pulled over for expired registration. I get it, cops suck, but this is a new level of biased headline writing.
