PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Police Gang Enforcement Officers tell KATU News there has been a spike in gang shootings in the St. Johns area over the last couple of weeks.
"It's not something that happens frequently out there," said David Hughes, a gang unit officer.
The aftermath of a shooting was caught on cellphone video Thursday night near North Fessenden Street and Columbia Way. Neighbors told KATU News they have noticed the violence and hope people don't get hurt.
KATU News rode along with Officer Hughes and Officer Jerry Ables on Friday to see how the Gang Enforcement is responding to the shootings.
"We make our mere presence known to hopefully prevent shootings or any other crimes (from) happening," Ables said.
The two officers patrol around the areas of past shootings and near the homes of known gang activity.
During the ride along, the two officers stopped to check on one person sitting in a car who's been involved with gang activity in the past.
A 14-year-old passenger of the vehicle was found with marijuana. Officers confiscated the marijuana.
Hughes said there have been 70 gang-related incidents in the North Precinct this year, about the same as this time last year.
2015 was the worst year for gang activity in the area. 1,200 shell casings were discovered and 70 people were shot, according to Hughes.
PORTLAND (BDN) -- Drug companies are trying to move Portland's lawsuit over the opioid crisis to a federal court in Ohio - a maneuver lawyers for the city call a stalling tactic.
Last week, AmerisourceBergen Corp., one of dozens of defendants in Portland's suit, entered a legal motion removing the case from Cumberland County Superior Court, where it was filed in May.
On Friday, the pharmaceutical distributor and two similar companies asked a federal judge in Maine to put the case on hold while a panel of judges considers consolidating it with hundreds of similar suits being heard in Ohio.
The city is challenging these moves in its effort to keep the case over the mounting financial and human toll of the opioid crisis in a state court. It's among many similar jurisdictional battles playing out nationally and appears to shed light on how drug companies are fighting hundreds of lawsuits over their alleged role in a national public health crisis.
"This is nothing but a delay tactic by the opioid companies to have the city of Portland's case transferred to a federal court in Ohio," Paul Napoli and James Belleau, lawyers from the two firms representing the city, said in a statement Thursday. "If this case is transferred to Ohio, the residents of Portland will suffer."
Lawyers for AmerisourceBergen Corp., which is represented in the case by Pierce Atwood LLP, did not respond to questions. The $18 billion company argues in court documents that Portland's case raises questions under federal law. It said that moving it to Ohio would promote "judicial efficiency," and protect drug companies from "unwarranted hardships" and the "the risk of inconsistent decisions."
In Ohio, a federal judge is seeking to bring more than 1,000 cases against opioid manufacturers to speedy settlem ents that he hopes will provide solutions for areas hard hit by overdose deaths. But Portland's lawyers want to fight the case on home turf and worry the city's suit will end up at the bottom of the mountain of case files in a multidistrict litigation that could be delayed for years.
Portland has asked Magistrate Judge John Nivison to move the case back to state court, rather than shipping it to the Midwest. But AmerisourceBergen argued Friday that it could be sent to Ohio first and that a judge there could rule on the request to keep it in state court.
The decision over shifting the case between the state to federal courthouse in Portland seems to turn on whether the city's lawsuit is truly grounded in Maine law.
In its suit, Portland contended that AmerisourceBergen Corp. and others are liable under state law. But the drug company argues that this claim is underpinned by law made in Washington, D.C., and therefore rightfully belongs before a federal judge.
In its filings, AmerisourceBergen's attorneys represents Portland's claims as being based, in part, on the federal Controlled Substances Act's requirement that drug companies monitor and stop suspicious shipments of pharmaceuticals.
The city's lawyers reject this characterization in their request to move the case back to state court, writing that suit is solely rooted in Maine law. They further argue that AmerisourceBergen cannot claim that the Controlled Substances Act is the basis for the city's suit because the company has held in other cases that the federal law does not create this sort of liability at all.
"Talking out of both sides of their mouths depending on the venue should not be the rewarded," Belleau wrote in the court filing.
It is unclear whether Nivison will address the motion to pause the case or the request to move it back to state court first.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) -A 25-year-old Nashville man has been arrested after he was found inhaling vapors inside a store and doing jumping jacks in a women's bathroom.
According to the arrest affidavits for Brody Tyler Young, the two incidents took place at separate locations on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
Police say on Monday, officers responded to a McDonald's on Nolensville Pike where they found Young locked in a stall of the women's restroom naked. Police say Young was doing jumping jacks and hitting the wall. The arresting officer said Young smelled of chemical fumes and was deemed a danger to himself.
The next day, police responded to the Lowe's store on Nolensville Pike where Young was found behind the customer service desk attempting to use the phone.
Police say according to employees, Young had gone to the paint section and was spraying spray paint into a Gatorade bottle and huffing the paint. Officers located the bottle and the paint can on the desk next to him.
Young was again arrested and charged with public intoxicat

@ Everyone Thought I would share this here and Pray the 8Chan Anons forgive me. I read this and I can feel their deep pain. I Still have tears rolling down my cheeks, This is causing to some of their relationships etc But they dig in anyway and give all they have. I want to send out Love not only to POTUS and The Q Team..but to These dedicated Anons as well.
@Everyone ANONS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
Here since almost the beginning. Need to make a bit of peace here, and a request for Q team.
There's a divide between what Q team is seeing and what we are seeing.
If you are Q team, you are directly aware of real threats, people who have died, real mission, and understand it really does depend on you.
They're frustrated, at least it seems, in these 2 messages.
If you are us team, anons, we are dealing with families, trying to disseminate info, getting shadowbanned, eaten alive in the press, all the while we have a deep understanding of world events which become extremely frustrating because nobody around you cares, they are all sheep that were about to be slaughtered and we know it. It's punishing on our lives helping out in whatever way we can.
This board is hard on us too, getting endlessly shilled, all the self doubt, but we muddle thru. We've committed so much energy to this, and we believe things are happening, but this gets very frustrating and tiresome.
@Everyone So guys
Compare what they are going thru to what we are going thru? We sound like whiny bitches, don't we?
Yes, mostly. We need to take a step back and think about Q team's life at risk every moment of every day. These are big events in their plan.
That said, Q team needs to take a step back and understand we need a bone. I too was led to believe that the big drop this month was JA… still have a few days, but the way I read these messages below is that the "BIG DROP" was the FISA reveal.
Q team needs to look at this and realize that ain't moving the public needle much.
We think of big drop and we think of something that is a mass change in public opinion or an arrest of a key player. We can't even determine if RR and RM are white or black hats and if this Michael Cohen crap is just for show.
Small request, stop making anons chase their tails with password hunting and such crap (not your fault they react this way) and give us targeted digging so we can have more facts at the ready when needed.
Lastly… just a guy who has a lot of people wondering about his mental stability over here, PLEASE throw us a fucking bone. We are trying to organize a "Q-anon" chant at the next rally… can you bless it? Give us something, please. We all want the world to change so badly.
