The #Portland #shooting unfolded Thursday afternoon as #US #BorderPatrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop, #DHS said in a statement.

The DHS “statement” [ #propaganda] claimed the driver, a suspected Venezuelan gang member, attempted to "weaponize" his vehicle & run over the agents. In response, DHS said, "an agent fired a defensive shot" & the driver & a passenger drove away.

An all too common refrain.

Reuters was unable to independently verify the circumstances of the incident.

#Portland police said in a statement that the #shooting took place near a medical clinic in the eastern part of the city.

6 minutes after arriving at the scene & determining federal agents were involved, police were informed that 2 people with gunshot wounds - a man & a woman - were asking for help at a location about 2 miles NE of the medical clinic.
