A confrontation between a private security officer and several people near the Burnside Bridge led to a shooting currently under investigation by Portland police, the bureau said in a news release.

Officers responded to the bridge just before 1:30 a.m. Saturday and, after speaking with witnesses, found the private security officer. The guard had fired several warning shots during the confrontation, police say.

A search of the area near Skidmore Fountain yielded evidence of gunfire and one person was reported to sustain minor injuries nearby.

This is the second shooting investigation Portland police have undertaken this week. Davonte D. Kerney, 22, sustained fatal injuries in another incident in the Pearl District Wednesday night.

The agency asks anyone with information about the Skidmore Fountain shooting to contact detectives at 503-823-0479.
