PORTLAND, Ore.
A suspected gang member opened fire on a group outside an alternative high school Friday, sending three young people to the hospital, Portland police said.
The victims are students at Rosemary Anderson High School or in affiliated job- training programs, police Sgt. Pete Simpson said. A 16-year-old girl was in critical condition, and two males — age 17 and 20 — were in serious condition, police said. A fourth person — a 19-year-old woman — was grazed by a bullet but not hospitalized.
Witnesses told police there may have been a dispute outside the school before the shooting occurred at a street corner, but police said they didn’t know who was involved.
“We don’t know what led up to the shooting,” Simpson said. “There was some kind of dispute.”
