PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An armed suspect crashed a stolen pickup into a house and ran from police on Thursday evening in Southeast Portland, officers said.
Portland police went to the 14700 block of SE Division Street at about 4:45 p.m. to look into a report of a stolen vehicle. Officers said the owner reported seeing a stranger inside their pickup and the stranger shot at them.
Police said the owner was not hurt.
The suspect drove off in the stolen pickup and crashed into a house near the 13600 block of SE Francis Street, police said. The suspect ran from the scene.
