Correction appended

Portland police say an employee at a Southeast Portland industrial park shot at and missed a suspected armed burglar early Wednesday morning.



Sgt. Greg Stewart, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman, said police were dispatched at 6:40 a.m. to an industrial park at 6400 S.E. 101st Ave. The site houses several small businesses.

Stewart said employees at one business discovered a burglar on the property who they thought was armed with a rifle. The suspect was seen chasing the employee when an armed employee fired two rounds at the suspect, but missed, Stewart said.

The suspect, who suffered minor injuries not related to the shooting, was captured and taken into custody by police. The rifle was discovered to be a pellet gun, Stewart said.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Portland Police Bureau's Detective Division at 503-823-0400..
