Three people were shot Wednesday night in the 11100 block of Northeast Knott Street, police said.

Portland police responded just before 9:30 p.m. and found three gunshot victims inside a residence. Two were taken to a hospital, and a third was treated at the scene, police said.

Police said initial information indicates the shooting was gang related, so the Portland Police Bureau's Gang Enforcement Team is investigating.

Brenda Bradford, a neighbor who has lived in the area for 16 years, said she wasn't surprised when she learned of the shooting.

"It doesn't surprise me," she said. "In the last year, it's gotten bad. People are racing around."

No further information on the suspects or their condition was immediately available.
