PORTLAND, Or.–On Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 12:23p.m., North Precinct Officers responded to a report of a shooting at North Foss Avenue and North Foss Court. This is right next to University Park. When they arrived they found three people shot in a car. EMS responded as well and determined that all three were dead. Their ages were not released.
