Unprecedented wave of shootings in Portland spurs anti-violence campaign: ‘We Are The Caution’

As Portland police struggle to keep up with each new shooting call in the city, a group of African American men are using their own skills to try to curb street violence. Ex-gang members Roy Moore, 38, and Lionel “Moe” Irving, 40, said they’re tired of seeing yellow caution tape draped around intersections or apartment complexes when another teenager or young man gets shot. African American men account for a disproportionate number of people killed and wounded in shootings in Portland, police say.
