PCC Cascade in lockdown due to "active shooter alert"
Just got a text from my wife who is studying for finals at PCC Cascade in North Portland and the library is currently in lockdown due to an “active shooter alert” in the neighborhood. Don’t have any more information than that. If you do, please leave it in the comments. No local news is reporting anything yet.
Update 5:30: There was a shooting at PCC Cascade outside of the cafeteria according to what I’m hearing and a teacher found shell casings. According to KPTV, there was a report of a shooting and Portland Police recommended the lockdown, but there are no victims.
What a surprise. It seems this was yet another gang related shooting. Luckily no one was hurt but this is getting to be all to common in the metro area.
I was on campus when this happened! In fact, I was in the library on the side of the building the shooting happened. It was a little confusing for the students, but the staff was very calm. We were locked down for about 1/2 an hour, and no one was allowed near the windows. I commend the staff for the way they handled the situation. It’s finals week and there were LOTS of grumpy students grumbling (me included) until we knew what was going on.
