A man fired a gun, then charged police who were responding to a report of domestic assault in Southeast Portland's Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood on Sunday, according to Portland police.

At 5 p.m. on Nov. 25, East Precinct officers arrived at a home in the 5000 block of Southeast 118th Avenue near Raymond City Park. A man who claims to have been struck with the butt of a rifle and witnesses told officers that the suspect was inside the home and armed with several guns.

Officers said the suspect fired a weapon when he came out of the home and additional officers were called to evacuate nearby residences. When the suspect ran toward officers, he was arrested and taken by ambulance to an area hospital for assessment, then the Multnomah County Jail.

The name of the suspect has not been released. The victim was examined by emergency medical personnel at the scene and did not require a trip to the hospital. There are no known injuries as a result of the suspect firing a gun, police said.



Police said there is no longer a public safety threat in connection to this incident and people who were evacuated can return to their homes.
