This is KGW news at sunrise for the third
time this week, Portland police
are involved in a shooting,
this time killing a man in southeast.
We'll have the latest on
the most recent shooting,
plus a look back at two others
earlier this week. Also coming up,
renters have are far less
likely to have access.
We dug into the numbers and found there's
a lot of disparity between households
who have AC and those who don't,
but those numbers are on the rise.
We'll take a closer look. Coming up.
And we are alive this morning
along the Portland waterfront.
The site of the annual Oregon Brewers
Festival year #33 kicks off today.
It runs through Saturday.
I have before me gang the tap list
for this year's oral festival.
Dozens of beers and ciders
available for this weekend's event.
We are just getting started.
I have beat the Brewers to the
festival but we have a whole
lineup of fantastic local Brewers
coming on with us this morning.
To talk about the return of this event,
which has taken the last two years off.
So more in the Oregon Brewers Festival
coming up in about 15 minutes.
That is exciting stuff.
Looking forward to
it, drew, thank you and
Happy Friday Eve everyone.
I thought he was going to
use that menu for a fan.
Yeah, getting toast you stays cold
chuckling because he said we're just getting
started now if you're at a Brewers festival
and you say I'm just getting started,
yeah, that typically means literally,
you know, yeah, alright,
let's go almost drop my clicker here we go.
Maybe I'm just getting started.
Yes, the headlines continued to be the same.
The excessive heat warning up for Portland,
Salem, Vancouver out through the gorge,
parts of the eastern Central Oregon,
the Columbia Basin,
and all these darker colors through Saturday,
meaning we're still looking at possible 100
degree temperatures through that time frame.
Their quality buys you for
the Willamette Valley,
up through Cowlitz County still in play,
but so far their quality
numbers have been OK.
No concerns there.
But we're still watching that.
So here's your planner.
68 Right now another sunny day, 84 noon
will be hitting 90 between 1:30 and two.
That's the same as yesterday.
And we may or may not get there.
Yesterday,
it looks like the official number I just
talked to the National Weather Service.
There were some rounding issues.
It's gonna be 96 out at the airport.
We'll see how close we get to 100 today.
Back to you,
Rob. Thank you our top story.
At 5:00 we're bringing you the latest
information about a fatal shooting
involving police in Southeast Portland.
Officers tell us just after
8:00 o'clock last night,
police responded to 126 and Burnside in
the Hazelwood neighborhood overnight.
Officers confirmed a man was firing
a gun into the air and say dispatch
could hear the shots in the background.
When witnesses called 911,
officers requested help from the
focused intervention team and say
at some point an officer from
fit shot and killed the suspect.
Details about what led up to
the shooting are still unclear.
We don't know the name of the
victim or the officer involved.
Now this is the third shooting this
week involving Portland police.
The first happened Sunday morning.
Police shot and killed a man on
Southeast Clinton while responding
to a domestic violence call.
The second happened early Tuesday
morning when police shot at a suspect
who got away from the scene in St.
John's.
So far,
there have been a total of five
shootings involving Portland police.
This year,
$3.8 million. That is how much the city
of Tigard has to pay has agreed to pay
rather to the family of a man shot.
By Tigard police last year
as Catherine Cook reports,
the death of Jacob Mcduff and
the many questions raised by his
family have sparked policy changes.
We came to the conclusion that this
was this killing wasn't justified.
And we believe the terms of the settlement.
Bear that out. Attorney
Scott Levin is pleased with the $3.8
million settlement his client Maria Mcduff,
is getting from the city of Tigard.
Her son, 26 year old Jacob Mcduff,
was shot and killed by Tiger
police on January 6th, 2021.
Officers were called to his
apartment for a domestic disturbance.
Loved ones say he was
having a psychotic episode,
part of ongoing mental health struggles.
Investigators say Mcduff locked
himself inside his truck as half
a dozen officers surrounded it.
About an hour and a half later,
this happened.
Listen as an officer fires less lethal
beanbag rounds at the windshield.
There was actually confusion
among the officers about how this
got initiated in the 1st place.
Just seconds later, a different officer
fired real gunshots into the truck,
hitting and killing Mcduff. He
apparently assumed.
This was Jacobs shooting because he
immediately began shooting Jacob.
These findings were part of a
forensic reconstruction of events.
Mcduff's attorneys Commission.
They used evidence released after
the Oregon Attorney General's office
and a grand jury found no evidence of
criminal wrongdoing by the officers.
Initial police reports suggested Mcduff had
reached for a knife while in his truck,
but attorneys for the family say
physical evidence did not support that,
and they had other concerns.
We never got an explanation.
For the impatience of these officers.
And because this case was indefensible,
it's settled. And hopefully.
The city of Tigard will take this opportunity
to learn from this tragic mistake
as part of the settlement,
the city of Tigard agreed to an
independent audit of the officers conduct,
which will be made public.
Also, the Tiger Police Department
is making several policy changes,
including implementing body cameras
and increasing police training.
A statement from Tigard Police Chief
Kathy McAlpine read in part first
and foremost to the Mcduff family.
I want to personally acknowledge
that your son's life was lost.
She went on to say this Police Department
is committed to learning and growing.
From our experiences.
We did our own thorough review of this case
and have made several updates to policies,
procedures and training.
As a result,
the Mcduff's attorney says all
of it matters to Jacob's mother.
She feels that she made a difference.
In pursuing this matter on
behalf of Jacob, and so she's.
Pleased with. That aspect of it
it will never bring your son back.
Catherine Cook, KGW news.
Here are some of the other headlines
we're tracking this morning
after a 7 hour standoff,
negotiators managed to talk an armed man
off a rooftop in Southwest Portland.
This happened at the Sylvan
Heights condos on Barnes Rd.
Washington County deputies were trying
to arrest the man on an outstanding
warrant yesterday afternoon when they
learned he was also wanted for robbery.
Domestic violence and assault in Salem.
Deputies say the man identified as 36
year old Eric Lane was uncooperative.
They say he climbed up onto the roof with
a gun and threatened to kill himself.
This started around 4:30 yesterday afternoon
and it ended just before midnight.
Rescue crews pulled a man's body out of
the Sandy river at Oxbow Park yesterday.
The Multnomah County Sheriff's
Office says it received several
reports of someone floating.
Face down in the river deputies
and Gresham firefighters brought
the man to shore paramedics,
though couldn't revive him.
No word yet on the man's name or
anything about the circumstances
surrounding his death.
We'll update you,
of course here on air and online
as we learn more,
and a Tualatin man is accused
of stealing a minivan yesterday
with a 9 month old boy inside.
The child is safe this morning,
and the man identified as 24
year old Marcus Paul.
Is under arrest facing kidnapping charges.
Tualatin police say the baby's father
left the child in the minivan with the
engine running while he went into a business.
That's when Paul allegedly
jumped in and took off,
eventually stopping in Oregon City to
leave the baby by the side of the road.
Someone passing by found the
child and called police.
Thankfully, the little boy wasn't hurt,
and those are some of your morning headlines.
While we are in the middle of our heat wave,
the hottest temps we've seen all summer,
so it got us wondering how many people
actually have air conditioning in 2011,
forty 1% of all homes in Portland
were air conditioned by either
central air or window units.
By 2015, that number jumped to 69%.
Then, as of 2019, the most recent data,
78% of homes have AC.
So why the dramatic increase?
Well, for one, it's actually literally
gotten hotter over the years.
Another factor could be all the newcomers.
Real estate agents say home
buyers coming from out of town
often ask if a property has AC,
which is the norm just about everywhere else.
But there is disparity.
Census data suggests white and Asian
households are more likely to have air
conditioning than black households.
It also shows renters are far less
likely to have AC than homeowners,
so owners are more likely
to invest into central AC.
That's something that increased their home.
Nobody, whereas for renters
that's going to be a sunk cost,
so they're very limited sometimes
in what they can put in.
Though 8 and 10 homes in Portland
sounds like a lot with AC,
that does still leave about
200,000 households without it.
Last summer's record heat wave killed
more than 70 people in Multnomah County,
the vast majority of them did not have AC.
Yeah, that's no joke.
I spent one summer 29 years
ago with a cranky newborn,
and I said we got to get AC.
But you know, people were aghast.
They were like why you only
need it one or two days a year.
And things have certainly
changed in those decades.
I think, and I'm just going
back through my memory.
I wanna say last summer we set the record
having 90 and I think we blew the record
away in Portland 90 days last year.
Hit 80 or better, which I think that
blew the record away 90 days three
months basically of a degree weather.
Ohhh so you know for decades there
was a lot of 70s in the summer here.
But look at last year's record.
I mean when you're 80 or above you won
ACC yeah right you just do alright.
Let's get you going to are
you Connie Camera in Newport?
So a couple things we're watching
#1 the coast continues to see a mix
of fog banks and will eventually
see a mix of some sunshine at times.
So what we've been having 54 and
foggy in Newport right now.
Temps at the beach have generally
been about 64 to 70. On average.
We'll look for the same pattern
today and then.
Here's futurecast what I want to
show you today. This is 5:00 PM.
See a few little green specs north of
Bend South of Bend outside of Burns.
We'll start to get into a spotty.
Obviously that's spotty.
Shower slash thunderstorm.
Chance later today across parts of
the Southern Oregon Cascades up into
Central Oregon and then the same
thing fires up tomorrow at 6:30.
So just you folks near the Cascades
and off to the east and the southern
kind of half of our state.
Maybe you get some Thunder boomers
building a little bit later today.
Here are the numbers.
Right now we're all dry and except
for the fog at the coast,
we're mainly clear outside 66 and Salem.
You may have noticed some haze in the air,
especially out in southeastern Oregon.
We are getting some smoke from
fires coming up from California.
Not a lot,
but a touch of it and then let
me add to that that there are no
large fires and this is great news.
I mean,
we're getting into the last few days of July,
right?
There are no large fires currently
burning in Oregon and Washington.
So that's terrific news here.
Locally, 100 degrees in Salem today.
Corvallis 96,
Mcminnville 97 the excessive heat
warning still up through Saturday.
It looks like I again I just
talked with the Weather Service,
the official high for yesterday.
Out of PDX is going to be 96.
Everybody stopped shy of 100 yesterday.
I think Salem was 98 or 99.
Mcnary Field yesterday,
but could hit 100 today.
Vancouver could do it today out in the gorge.
The Dalles was 107 yesterday.
Today won 12.
The hot spot in the state was you
folks in Hermiston. You hit 108.
Yesterday will still go near 100
through Saturday and then cooling
down the first part of next week.
OK,
ladies and gentlemen drew Carney's
out having fun this morning.
He is live at the Oregon Brew fest.
Drew I have to ask you a question,
have to ask you a question.
Do you have any Budweiser on that
menu that you were showing us earlier?
Getting this gracious.
An organized if I just ignore that question.
My goodness, rod.
Yeah I'm gonna go right past that question
and remind you interviewing audience
that you are bearing witness to the
first cracking of the can this morning.
And it's not a Budweiser my friend.
It's an Oregon craft brew,
from Coin Toss brewing out of Oregon City.
Tim Holl, founder of the brewery
pouring for us this morning.
He's going to talk about the beer
that he's bringing to the party.
It's called black hole.
It's a black eye PA.
We'll talk about a dark beer.
On a bright sunny day coming
up next here on sunrise.
Can't wait
thank you, drew. Hey, we're
getting ready for the
KGW school supply drive.
It kicks off on Monday and we need your help.
Last year we were able to collect
school supplies for more than 15,000
students and this year we want to
up that number and help even more.
We can't do it without people
like the folks though.
At Ant Farm Cafe over in Sandy,
we're giving them a big shout out
and a big thank you this morning.
Because they signed up to
be a collection site,
your business can do it too.
Just go to kgw.com/school and we'll send
you a kit so you can collect supplies
for school districts in your area.
