One killed and six wounded: a shooting in downtown Portland

According to the Portland Police Department. One woman died and six were injured in a shooting in downtown Portland, Oregon.

An unidentified woman has died at the hospital, according to a police statement released later Saturday.

The Portland Police Bureau has updated the number of victims, saying that only seven people, instead of eight, as previously reported, were wounded by firearms.

Six other victims were injured to varying degrees, but police said they were not life-threatening.

Police said police did not locate the suspect or suspects and no arrests were made.

According to police, parts of Southwest Third Avenue were closed during the investigation.

The shooting in Portland, which, according to police, occurred just after 2 am, was the last in a series of shootings that engulfed US cities this summer.

According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), 361 mass shootings took place this year. CNN defines a mass shooting as a shot from four or more people, not counting the shooter.

Due to the fact that states are lifting restrictions on Covid-19 and more people are traveling in warmer weather, there is a surge in shootings and killings in US cities.

Authorities said a 6-year-old girl was killed and five adults were injured in a shootout in the southeastern part of the country on Friday night.

Police said the child was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Three men and two women received non-life-threatening injuries, said Assistant Chief of the Metropolitan Police Auchan Benedict.
