This is kg
W news at sunrise. Good morning.
Thanks for getting up with
us on this Saturday morning.
I'm Tim Gordon this morning on sunrise.
From a carjacking to a break in a
suspects crime spree in Hillsborough
leaves one neighborhood shake it up,
plus a popular Portland restaurant hit
by thieves just months after opening
the crime that was caught on camera.
But before we get to all that,
let's check in with Chris McGinnis for a
look at that good morning Saturday forecast.
Good morning Saturday.
Yeah, so why not?
It is a good morning out there.
It's so foggy in some cases.
Let's give you the live look
from our City sky camera.
Obviously it's it's still dark,
sunrise getting a little later.
We're still losing about 3 minutes
of daylight each day here.
But I think if you look closely you
can start to see maybe some of the fog
trying to settle in over downtown.
It's thicker elsewhere 54 with some
light fog being reported last check
out at PDX and as I mentioned,
visibility really dropping quickly.
Mcminnville and Aurora down to
1/4 mile visibility in dense fog.
We've got some fairly thick fog
as you get down towards Corvallis.
And Eugene as well.
And for that reason Weather Service
issuing a dense fog advisory until
11:00 AM for areas basically
South of Wilsonville.
So Wilsonville S to beyond Eugene up and
down the I5 corridor here in the valley,
a dense fog advisory in effect until 11.
The other thing you're probably
noticing is that the air quality
is taking a bit of a hit over
the last 24 hours and current air
quality sensors here across a good
chunk of Western Oregon indicating
moderate air quality.
So the smoke particulate is
up a little bit that bright.
Pink dot there in the Oak Ridge
area that's downwind of the Cedar
Creek fire in Lane County. OK.
The plan for today's sunrise
obviously still a little ways away.
At 7:18,
it'll be cloudy and foggy to start the day.
A lot like yesterday and a lot
like yesterday.
We will start to clear out.
And once again,
another day in the 80s.
Eighty 2 degrees this afternoon
would tie the record high for today.
Tim.
Something else?
All right, Chris, thanks a lot.
Well, we start this half hour with
that wild crime spree that ended in
a police shooting in Hillsborough.
Investigators say the suspect robbed or
tried to rob three different people,
all strangers to him.
Bryant Clerkley breaks
down the details for us.
There was cops in here.
They were they were speeding down
in those cul-de-sac here and then
they just had their lights out over
in that corner looking for somebody.
Cindy Gunzalez lives near
NE Lilac St in Hillsborough,
just West of the airport.
That's where police say 40 year
old Patrick Robertson started
his crime spree Thursday night.
He's first accused of
trying to carjacked a man,
then physically assaulting him,
but he didn't get away with the car.
That's scary. That's scary.
Like I said, I've been here for 20 years,
over 20 years, and this is the second
time we've had any kind of incident
like this in this neighborhood anyways.
So it's scary. It's it's it's everywhere.
But then now it feels like it's coming into
the residence and Hillsborough authorities
say Robertson then ran about a block
to NE 17th Ave and threatened 2 men
inside a home using what police
think was a replica gun and a knife.
Police say he slashed one of the
men in the arm and stole a handgun
from the home. Before leaving,
victims were completely unknown to him.
So that's what makes this
so unusual and, you know,
quite frankly, terrifying for people.
Police say Robertson broke into
another home on a block South of 17th.
He's accused of threatening the
people inside with the stolen gun,
then taking a car from the home
and leading cops on a chase.
An officer spotted the vehicle in the city,
and the vehicle eluded that officer,
and it was. Eventually picked up
by Washington County Sheriff's
Office who assisted in the pursuit.
Authorities caught up with Robertson
about 5 miles away at the roundabout
on Shoals Ferry and River Rd
where they say he wrecked the car.
That's what led to the shooting.
Once Mr Robertson wrecked out,
he got out of his vehicle,
he produced a handgun,
pointed at the officers and
they fired on Mr Robertson.
He was injured.
Robertson has non life threatening
injuries. The officers were not hurt.
Bryant Clerkley reporting there
along with the Burt robbery,
burglary and assault,
Robertson also faces unlawful use
of a weapon and a looting charges.
It was a Hillsborough
officer who shot Robertson,
so the Washington County Major Crimes team
is now investigating what we now know,
the name of the man police were
investigating before a deputy
shot a woman that was with him.
This happened in Northeast
Portland on Wednesday.
Tristan Borges is charged with attempted
aggravated murder and other counts.
Police say he started fighting.
Multnomah County Sheriff's deputy
near holiday and Grand Woman got
involved in that fight as well.
She was the one shot by the deputy.
She is expected to survive but is
still in the hospital this morning.
A more trouble in Portland's Old Town.
Police say a man was stabbed Friday
afternoon near NW 3rd and Davis.
He is expected to survive now.
This is the same area where two people
were stabbed just hours apart last Friday.
We're learning more about
one of the victims there.
53 year old Mark Davis was killed
near Broadway and Couch last Friday.
Witnesses report seeing the suspect in
Davidson an argument before he was stabbed.
His aunt tells Us Davis
was a lovable family man.
He was a funny guy, you know,
he likes to crack jokes. You know,
he was a lovable person. He loved God.
You know he's going to be missing very well.
By lots of people.
You know he loved his kids.
You know he's just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
Now, as we reported yesterday,
police arrested 20 year old
Khalil Ford for Davis's death.
We also learned Ford was arrested,
arraigned and released just two days
prior for a completely different case
where he was accused of beating up an
elderly woman in the Pearl District.
Well, a restaurant in Old Town
needs your help finding the
criminals they say broke their
windows and burglarized their shop.
Trap Kitchen shared surveillance
footage from early Friday morning.
They say three people were involved.
One first used a blowtorch on the
glass door that caused it to crack.
Someone then comes back and breaks
through that glass in the door.
The thieves took off with the cash register.
The co-owner of the Bipac owned
restaurant said they've only been
open for a few months and haven't
experienced anything like this.
We didn't ever think that we would,
somebody would break in here.
The community knows us,
downtown knows us,
everybody knows us around here,
other businesses.
So we kind
of look out for each other.
But yeah, we didn't expect this.
Now they now plan to beef up
their security and surveillance.
Trap Kitchen started in
Portland as a food truck.
It's also a branch of the Oakland,
CA restaurant that's gained fame
for catering celebrity parties.
Well Portland Public Schools is the
first district in Oregon to join 1000
other districts across the country in a
lawsuit against E-cigarrete maker Jewel.
New data released this week shows more
than two and a half million middle and
high school students in the US use E CIGS.
The lawsuit against Jewel alleges
the company used fruit and candy
flavored nicotine as well as
strategic ads to market to teenagers.
The district says it decided to join the
lawsuit due to the growing health crisis.
Involving E cigarettes use among teens.
If we do have any monetary gains,
then we fully intend to use that
money to fund education, prevention
and anti vaping enforcements to keep
E cigarettes away from our students.
Now the FDA and CDC analyzed data from
the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey
and found about one in four middle and
high schoolers reported vaping daily.
One in four? Wow.
Well, a magnitude 4.4 earthquake hit
Oregon's Linn County early Friday morning.
While people all around the Willamette
Valley felt it, it wasn't strong
enough to prompt a shake alert.
Text warnings to your phone.
Coming up next,
experts explain how to prepare for
a larger earthquake of the future.
