Portland rocked by deadly weekend: five killed in separate incidents across the city

Portland police say five people were killed in four different areas of Portland last weekend.

Acting Deputy Chief Chris Gjovik says "It is a tremendous number and it’s not common. I can’t remember a weekend that was as violent as this weekend. As for themes these were spread all over the city, all different groups of communities."

The first was a shooting just after 11:15 Friday night. A man was found dead from a gunshot wound in Sellwood Riverfront Park.

On Saturday, two men were shot and killed near Broughton Beach just before 8 p.m.

Sunday night, a man was shot and killed in the Rose City Park Neighborhood, and early Monday morning, a man was stabbed to death in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood.
