A Portland man told police he was shot twice in the leg by another man at a Gresham apartment complex after they accidentally walked into each other.

The shooting was reported at 6:12 p.m. Monday at the Grant View Court apartments at S.E. 190th Ave. and is still under investigation, said Gresham Police Officer John Rasmussen. The gunshot victim, 29, said he didn't know the alleged shooter and that he was fired upon after apologizing for the bump, Rasmussen said. No one else has been reported injured.

The wounded man, whose identity has not been released, was taken to OHSU Hospital and is expected to recover, Rasmussen said. The alleged shooter is described as standing about 5-foot-5 and was seen wearing a black beanie hat and a black coat. No further description has been released.

Al Williams, who was in the parking lot outside his mother's apartment unit with his 2- and 3-year-old sons at the time of the shooting, said he initially thought he heard fireworks going off. But then he knew his first guess was wrong when he heard a man yell out from several yards away.

Williams said he saw the wounded man stagger and then fall to the ground while another man ran in the opposite direction towards the street. Several kids were in the area playing football when the shooting occurred, Williams added.

"My kids and I went and hid because no one knew if he was going to come back," said Williams, 23, of the alleged shooter. "He shot the another man at point blank range, but to do it so close to kids, those bullets really could have hit anybody."

Gresham police ask anyone who has more information about the shooting or the suspect to call their tip line at 503-618-2719.
