One man is dead and two others were wounded in a gang shooting overnight outside a bar in Northeast Portland.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Portland Police responded to the shooting at J D's Bar and Grill, in the 4500 block of Northeast 60th Avenue. Bar employees told police two groups of males had been arguing inside the club and went outside when shots were fired, said police spokeswoman Lt. Kelli Sheffer.

Three men were transported to area hospitals with gunshot wounds: a victim who had been shot in the chest, another who was shot in the abdomen and a third who was shot in the arm. It was not immediately clear which injured man had died.

Witnesses told officers that the suspects left the scene in a black Chrysler 300 model vehicle. Gresham Police located the vehicle near Northeast 181st Avenue and Northeast Halsey Street and attempted to stop the car.

The male driver pulled into an Arco gas station near that location. The passenger ran from the traffic stop. Both men, who appear to be between 25 and 30 years old, were eventually taken into custody.

Gang Enforcement investigators and Homicide detectives are investigating the shooting scene and the vehicle stop location at Northeast 181st Avenue and Northeast Halsey Street in Gresham, Sheffer said.
