Police responded to two shootings overnight Saturday in east Portland that left one man with injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.



The first shooting occurred about 11:30 p.m. in the 11200 block of Northeast Knott Street. Officers found bullet damage to a vehicle and contacted people attending a nearby party, but no one had been injured, police said. Another vehicle was later discovered to have damage.



Then about 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a shooting near Southeast 171st Avenue and Division Street. A witness told police about a person wounded in the street and several people running from the scene.



Officers discovered an injured man, only identified as a 21-year-old; he was taken to the hospital. His condition was unknown Sunday morning but he was expected to recover.



Police suspect gangs were involved in both incidents, though they have no reason to believe they were related. Portland's Gang Enforcement Team is investigating.
