This is KGW news at 11. Good
evening and thanks for joining us.
I'm Brittany Folkers,
and we begin tonight with the rise
in gun violence across America.
Four people are dead,
including the suspected shooter
after a man entered an Indiana
shopping mall and opened fire.
Two others were hurt in the attack.
South of Indianapolis police say a man
with a rifle and several magazines of
ammo opened fire in the food court of
the Greenwood Park Mall around 6:00 PM.
Eastern Time an armed bystander
shot and killed that shooter.
The bystander is cooperating
with authorities.
Police say they confiscated a
suspicious backpack that was in
the bathroom near the food court
that turned out not to be a threat.
Officials are expected to release
more details tomorrow afternoon and
we'll be sure to bring you the latest
information here on air and online.
Closer to home tonight,
two people are dead from a
shooting at a Vancouver House
party full of young adults.
Our Galen Netland joins us and Galen.
A lot of people are feeling the
hurt in this community tonight
and a really scary situation.
Brittany, the whole neighborhood
is really feeling the ripple impact
of this latest gun violence.
Something people there are not used to.
This shooting was around 1:20 this
morning near East 11th and Nob Hill.
Dr Police say about 50
people were at that party.
Bullets hit four people.
One person died at the scene,
another died after arriving to the hospital.
The two others hurt are in serious condition.
This did not have exact
ages for everyone involved,
but said victims range between 17 and 20.
I met a teenager who was outside there
and she said that she was at that party
and that it was a college going away.
Party, another neighbor who did
not want her face shown said she
saw a lot of young people run
away when those shots rang out.
They were like really fast.
So it was like pop, pop, pop, pop,
super, Super sad and such a tragedy.
You know you don't expect it
to be in your own backyard.
I mean you hear everybody say that it's just.
There's just so much
tragedy going on right now.
We all just need to be kind to each other.
Lookout for each other.
Now she said the neighborhood
is otherwise pretty calm,
so everyone is pretty shocked right now.
Police have not mentioned
arrests or anyone in custody,
and they're asking anybody with
more information to come forward.
We'll keep you updated, Brittany.
All right, Galen. Thank you.
In Portland, two people were killed
and another person injured in
separate shootings early this morning.
The first happened on the
300 block of West Burnside,
the second shooting left a man
and a woman dead on the 2600
block of southeast Belmont.
Brian Clerkley spoke with some people
in the area who are on Edge today.
The first shooting happened on
the 300 block of West Burnside.
The second shooting happened here on
the 2600 block of southeast Belmont,
and it left a man.
When a woman dead people in
the area say they're still on
edge about all the crime,
and then we saw the crime tape so we
were aware that a crime had happened.
This was the chaotic scene
on southeast Belmont.
Early Sunday morning,
crime scene tape and flashing police lights.
It happened just before 3:00 AM.
Police say multiple shots were fired
when authorities got to the scene.
They found two victims.
One man was already dead and a
woman was taken to the hospital
where she later died. Never.
Barnett was staying in an Airbnb
with her family right next to
where the shooting happened.
We're on
this roll of Happy Reunion celebration
and our last night we hear gunshot
and screaming and then
sirens and it's like Oh no,
you've got to be kidding me.
The Portland Police Homicide
unit is investigating the
shooting on southeast Belmont.
The street was closed for
several hours Sunday morning.
One resident who did not
want to be on camera.
Said she heard around 16 shots.
People in the area say they're
a bit uneasy about the crime.
It's really scary,
kind of seeing it creep up like,
especially from downtown and
now that it's here on Belmont.
But yeah, I kind of really don't
know how to think cause it's
been really like a very quiet,
peaceful neighborhood
before the southeast Belmont shooting.
There was a shooting on West Burnside
police say while they were investigating,
a man showed up at a local
hospital with non life threatening
injuries related to the shooting.
Police have not yet released
identities of the victims
or the suspect information.
And if you have any
information on these crimes,
police want you to contact detectives.
And I'll have that information on
our website, kgw.com in Portland.
I'm Bryant Clerkley KGW news.
Let's take a look outside over
the Rose City this Sunday evening.
We're ending off a pretty nice
weekend out there. I mean,
we had plenty of clouds out there,
but it still felt really lovely.
It was good barbecue ING weather
and I think a lot of people did
take advantage of barbecuing
by the afternoon it did.
You know, we had some kind of
a took a little bit longer to
get into the the nicer weather,
but looking into this the next week,
we're slowly be seeing
our temperatures warm up,
and it definitely hasn't been feeling much
like mid-july of the next couple of days.
Well, we'll quickly get back to that.
Slowly warming back up
to more summer weather,
heading into tomorrow.
And by Tuesday we'll be seeing
temperatures close to 90 degrees,
but first we will be seeing a few more
clouds to start off tomorrow morning.
But again,
by I'd say the end of your morning commute.
We'll start to see some little bit
more of a blue skies temperatures
right now on your Sunday night,
right around the upper 50s to low 60s,
and we're going to be remaining on
the mild side here the next few days.
Still pretty warm over in the eastern
side of the state and a live look
now over in downtown Portland.
Temperature up.
63 degrees under clear skies
we will be seeing some clouds.
Kind of moving onshore here
in the next couple of hours,
but it was look at your
temperatures for tomorrow morning.
We'll be looking at right around the
mid to the upper 60s by the later
part of the afternoon getting into
the upper 70s by two three o'clock.
I'm still forecasting highs
right around 80 to 84 degrees.
Again things get warmer for Tuesday,
but I'll talk more in detail when we can.
Expect to see a bit of a heat up or warm up.
I should say that's coming up your
detailed forecast about 10 minutes from
now. Alright, sounds good. Thanks, Joe.
The World Athletics Championships
will continue this week in Eugene and
tonight fans got together at a Portland
sports bar to take in the action.
The sports bra, a locally woman owned
sports bra on Northeast Broadway,
hosted the on her turf event.
This viewing party is meant to
empower women in sports and an
opportunity to cheer on Team
USA in this year's competition.
On her first mission,
the Sports Bras mission
is to really legitimize.
But these female athletes,
whether they're a professional,
whether you are in an elementary
school soccer team, you matter,
and you have the potential to
go to the farthest limits of
where the sport can take you.
And I think organizations like
on her turf and the sports bra
are just pillars that can really
support upcoming women in sports,
not just a viewing party
and a chance for community,
but take a look at that.
Customers also got to meet some of
the athletes in person tonight,
taking in some autographs too.
That's awesome and.
It has been a day of happiness and
also of course disappointment for
Oregon natives competing on the track.
Today, Art Edwards is in Eugene
tonight and brings us up to speed
a great day for track and field
here in Eugene at Hayward Field.
The World Championships.
One of the highlights of the day,
the men's shotput Ryan Crouser looking to
win a medal that so far has eluded him.
While he was able to get the gold medal
here at the World Championships and
LED a USA sweep in the men's shotput.
The shot put was really exciting too.
Of course we had our hometown Hero win.
I got to be here for the trials
and that was some amazing shot.
That and the contest today
was amazing as well.
I did shot put for like 2 years when I
was in middle school and I was not at
all good at it but it was lots of fun
in the men's marathon Central Catholic.
You have all grad Galen Rupp
finished 19th here at the World
Championships and then on the track.
Devin Allen,
former U of O track star
looking to be able to meddle.
Here at the World Championships,
he was disqualified in the final a
false start by one one thousandth of
a second that cost him his chance at
winning a World Championship medal.
