Suspect shot up car in Jack in the Box drive-thru
»Play Video
PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland police say somebody fired several shots at people in a car as they sat in the drive-thru of a Southeast Portland fast food restaurant on Friday afternoon. Nobody was hit.
The shooting happened at the Jack in the Box on 82nd Avenue a few blocks north of Holgate.
Police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said a man and woman were sitting in their car in the drive-thru line when an unknown man approached them and fired multiple shots before running away.
The gunman hit the car and the building, although he missed the two people in the car. Officers searched the area but could not find him.
Witness Ben Austin lives nearby and was standing across the street when the shooting began. He said it looked as if the shooter was aiming for the passenger in the car.
"They were trying to get out of there," Austin said. "They rear-ended the guy in front of them and then they threw it in reverse. He was really lucky. The bullet holes are in the door."
After the shooting, the suspect ran into 82nd Avenue and past Austin. He said the gun looked like a black 9 millimeter pistol.
Simpson said the suspect is a black man in his 20s with a skinny build. He was wearing all black clothing.
Investigators think the shooting is gang related and detectives from the police bureau’s Gang Enforcement Team are investigating.
Simpson said anybody with information about the shooting can call the gang team at (503) 823-4106.

It could have been a nugging.
Black gun violence infiltrating the southeast from northeast !
Interesting facts about gun violence:    · Ft. Hood - Registered Democrat - Muslim.   · Columbine - Too young to vote - both families were Registered Democrats and progressive liberals. · Va. Tech - Wrote hate mail to Pres Bush and to his staff --Registered Democrat.  · Colorado Theater - Registered Democrat, staff worker on the      Obama campaign, Occupy Wall Street participant, progressive liberal. · Conn. School Shooter - Registered Democrat, hated Christians.  ALL of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.Â

 @Fed up Fed Maybe he felt that you were not worth responding to you dipstick.
boy, sorry, you really are an idiot....2 minute search found he could not vote nor do they keep records of party because:
Â
a) He was Korean national with permanent residency status, not a U.S. citizen.
b) He lived all of his adult life in Virginia, a state which does not record party affiliation in the voter registration process.

Don't be a divider goofus and just copy and past stupid inflamatory lies !
Â
Oh by the way, I found several wingnt sites that have that same thing....off to snopes to pilidge you more !

 @Fed up Fed My goodness! I have been feeling a little left out of your rants lately. But it's now plain for all to see that you've reached the pinnacle of your Liberal genius, and thus removed all the stops for that one! Bravo! Bravo!
@last boyscout ......oh, got it. Have fun !
 @Rob C 503  @last Thanks Rob. I'm just having fun:-)
@last boyscout .....he's not worth responding to, boyscout.
Gangster "buyers remorse."
So if 0bama had a son he'd look like the suspect?
Heard this on the online scanner today. What a mess! Poor cops didn't know which way to go at first as they were getting tips from citizens all over the place even though they were on the scene reasonably quick. Kudos to them for doing their jobs to the best of their capabilities. It cannot be easy to follow information when it leads in so many directions.
CarJack in the Box?
This would have never happened at more "civilized" Burger KIng drive-thru. ;-)
Portlander's better start getting angry about this, and soon. The welcoming, accepting, understanding, nurturing culture gave this criminal behavior it's roots. Now it's growing. By leaps and bounds.

@Fed up Fed ...it seems to make you feel better calling people names. Your mother would be so proud.
 @Rob C 503 I really don't think it was welcome and nurtured, but gang activity was ignored for a long time in Portland.Â
 @Saltire  @Rob C 503 gang activity has been ignored for a long time in Portland... there fixed it for ya:)
 @gbudavid  @Rob C 503 Thank you, gbudavid.  That's what I meant to say. :)
@Saltire ....it's the culture that developed here. Criminals prey on the vulnerable. And, sadly that's what Portland has become by negligence of the citizens and the officials they elected.

 @Common Sence We should just ban the people who are fighting to maintain gun rights. They're the problem. Just look at all the apoplectic comments on the subject by these people right here in the KATU forums. Do these people even live in Oregon? I don't know anybody who shares their beliefs.
Guns are cool!
 @dboon4  Yes, they are!
By all means, let this guy and intellectuals like him play with their guns.  They are the militia that will protect our country from tyranny, after all.
Pretty safe to say this guy isn't a republican.....
"He said the gun looked like a black 9 millimeter pistol." Yes, because it's so obvious what caliber a handgun is when somebody runs past you. /tool What, did it have 9mm in big bold letters right on the side of it for everybody to see?
 @NGerblansky 9mm pistols flash red and blue lights while a shooter is running past anyone.
Ask any cop. He'll verify it.
 @NGerblansky You can't see it when the gun is held "'(sideways).:-)

So only conservatives can be racist? That's a pretty bold statement based on that garbage article. P.S. I laughed at the joke AND voted for him. Figure that one out pea brain.
 @NGerblansky Jerk.
 @tigress Sensitive are we?Â
 @tigress Can't Understand Normal Thinking
 @NGerblansky Do you ___ yo' momma with that mouth?
This is the second incident in Portland in the last several days where a fast food establishment was hit by gunfire. The other was, I believe, a Taco Bell.
Â
I blame The Food Network!!
 @HenryBowman LOL
Somehow, I'm guessing that whoever did the shooting, did so with a gun. Which brings me to the question, what's my common, drive-by shootings? Drive-by stabbings? Drive-by strangulations? Oh yes, that's right, it's the drive-by shooting.
 @pdxd Another question then, what kind of music is most often being listened to during a Drive-by? Or, what race is most likely to be involved during a Drive-by? And class, what infamous individuals first pioneered the use of Drive-by's during criminal activity?
 @last boyscout  @pdxd Racist
 @last boyscout  @pdxd Umm let's see this was technically a "run by" since the gun who was doing the shooting was on foot. - OR does it make it a drive by because those being shot at were in a drive thru? How CRONY cAN WE GET??? Let's just be glad that no one was hurt!! I think that you moron's are missing the point! any idiot can get a gun and shoot\ it doesn't matter who they are what color, what race what music or what gang or creed ? or even what fast food they are eating!! The truth is what ever happened to the meaning of ones life. Doesn't human life count for more than this demeaning people down to just poor or rich/color or class?

I see more young fats than old farts on scooters these days.
 @margay1 That is funny, though, the image that gives me is a dog scooting on the carpet, not sure why, and @last boyscout I never did see that with George being chased by scooter riding farts, but I did one time get a wrong number phone call during the whole Bush medicare drug plan overhaul, and this cranky older lady started yelling at me for trying to help Bush kill off the senior citizens. I bet she was on a scooter!
 @pdxd  @Danielle Robles ~  A "scoot-by"..???
 @pdxd Ever see George Castanza being chased by the old farts on their scooters?
 @Danielle Robles ....." I think that you moron's are missing the point!".... Nicely stated, coming from a open minded Liberal. So, race doesn't matter? Music style doesn't matter? Tell me, during the next series of research experiments or weather studies that are done, just which bits of information gathered should we ignore just to satisfy your particular fancies in the name of Political Correctness? The fact is that race matters as much as any other bit of information. How else is knowledge gained?  Â
 @Danielle Robles I didn't originally read that it was a "run-by", maybe it was a "walk-by". Wonder what'd it be called if it was a disgruntled senior on one of those grocery store scooters, would it be a "ride-by" or a "drive-by"?
 @last boyscout I think the original era of drive-by's were quite possibly during the prohibition era, or early organized crime
 @axpman I'm a liberal, and anyone who tries to gay-bash me, I'll cry self-defense when they recover that body.
 @last boyscout Give the liberals time, we'll eventually be back to that.Â
 @last boyscout Okay, then it's quite possible that cowboys and indians were the original driver-byers (in the US) swapping bows & arrows with gun fire. Hadn't thought about that.Â
 @pdxd You've got to be right. Unless we allow a Chariot and a Spear being thrown during a "pass".Â
 @last boyscout  @pdxd I would take a guess but I'd be censored....been censored for way less. KATU doesn't deal with reality and facts here very well sometimes.
