Portland police say they were called for help shortly before 2:30 p.m. local time and found a man and woman with “apparent gunshot wounds.”

Both victims were rushed to the hospital. Their conditions are unknown.

Portland Police Chief Bob Day urged calm amid “heightened emotion” following a deadly ICE officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” Day said in a statement. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”

“Portland does not respond to violence with violence,” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in a statement. “We respond with clarity, unity, and a commitment to justice. We must stand together to protect Portland.”
