Two people were shot by federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement. The FBI’s Portland office said that the shooting involved Customs and Border Patrol agents.
Two people, a man and a woman, were wounded and hospitalized, police said in a news release. They were not identified and their conditions are unknown, the department said.
The shooting occurred around 2:20 p.m. local time, police said.
“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” said Portland Police Chief Bob Day. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”
The shooting comes a day after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.
