Portland Police Bureau
A 2-year-old girl is recovering after being shot with what is believed to be a high-powered pellet gun in the Kenton Neighborhood.
On Saturday April 10, 2020 at 1:27p.m., Portland Police were called to OHSU hospital on a report of a child injured by a pellet gun. The victim's father told officers that at about 11:00 a.m., he was taking a walk on North Willis Boulevard near North Peninsular Avenue with his daughter on his shoulders. The child began crying in pain suddenly, and the father discovered there was a small penetration injury to the child's buttocks area. After consulting with the family pediatrician, the child was driven to an area hospital. X-rays revealed what appeared to be a pellet projectile lodged an inch deep in the child. The injury is non-life-threatening. The parents reported the incident to police, and we are asking the community to help solve this crime.
