Portland police responded to reports of two shootings that happened in the span of 10 minutes Friday night.

Victims in both shootings were taken to the hospital in ambulances and police said one victim, shot multiple times, had injuries that are considered life-threatening.

Just after 9:30 p.m. Friday, Portland police responded to a shooting near North Interstate Avenue and North Thunderbird Way. Officers located an adult male victim with multiple gunshot wounds when they arrived on the scene.

The victim was taken to the hospital in an ambulance with what police called life-threatening injuries.

No arrests were made and police did not release any information about possible suspects.

Just after 9:20, police responded to a shooting at an apartment in the 1000 block of North Marine Drive. An adult female victim with a gunshot wound was found at the scene and taken to a hospital in an ambulance.

Police did not believe the injury to be life-threatening and made no arrests at the scene.

“Investigating officers learned there were numerous people in the apartment at the time of the shooting, however, no witnesses were willing to give an account of what happened,” police said in a statement.

The two shootings are the latest in an increase in Portland.
