PORTLAND, Ore. - A fight on a MAX train near the Lloyd Center led to a shooting.

The incident happened just after 8:15 p.m. Monday at Northeast 7th and Holladay.

When police arrived, they found shell casings but no victim.  About 20 minutes later, they located a 25-year-old man who had a gunshot wound to the leg.  He would not cooperate with officers and was taken to the hospital.

Police do not know if the man was an intended target or the victim of an accidental shooting.  Investigators with the Gang Enforcement Team were called out to investigate.

Several people were detained, but no arrests were made.  Police said they may have to wait until they can take a look at surveillance video from TriMet to sort out what happened.
