Shooting in Cathedral Park

My friend said she was at her grand daughters birthday

party in Cathedral Park and she said that there was a man
firing an AR15 at people in the park but no one was hit.
Had anyone heard of any news of this??

I’ve been hanging out a couple blocks north of there
for the last 45 minutes, and I haven’t seen anything.

EDIT: Nevermind. Imma head home now.

EDIT: Newer Nissan extended-cab pickup fired 6-12

shots at the dog park then sped down Crawford. No
one injured.

EDIT: Ok, 19 shots.

Can confirm. Heard the shots while I was at the park,
and my roommate saw them being fired from the car.
Had people running and ducking. Never heard any
sirens after though?

yeah, the police slow rolled over there, no need to
get in a hurry about it.

also I debate running and ducking... I poked my
head out the door to see what the hell was going
on, sounded like someone hitting the side of the
shop with a hammer. I just saw people dawdling
around like nothing happened and then a group of
dumb dumbs hanging out around the car that got
shot the fuck up. It was over before anyone
reacted.

Down on the river people got pretty startled.
Most either ended up leaving or following the
sound to see what was going down.

I mean, you can't go sticking a park under a satanic
bridge and not expect this kind of thing to happen
from time to time.

FYI the TV show COPS in early 90’s was routinely
filmed in St. Johns...cause it was ripe for drama.

I downloaded the first couple seasons a while ago.
They're pretty wild. Very more "day in the life of a
cop" instead of the endless depressing drunk /
drug / domestic violence scenarios of the next 22
seasons or whatever

In the shows credits it plays a dispatch call to
Commercial Ave in the Woodlawn neighborhood.

I just googled this to find out, and it turns out
that another version of the credits says 132 and
bush, which is also Portland.

I live across the street from Cathedral Park. Came
home around 6pm to see that the police were there
and had Crawford St blocked off between Pittsburg
and maybe Alta.

So do I. I heard the gunshots and freaked out. I’ve
been around guns but this sounded scary as shit. I
thought for sure someone had gotten offed. I
hope to God they find the people who did it.
Listening to Police Scanner it was a blue BMW
with four people in it. I believe no casings were
found either?!

Shit that's dangerous - if you were smoking a Doobie
barefoot in the park, and had to run from gunshots,
you may accidentally get stuck by a used needle!
That park is a well known hangout for careless
diabetics who eat moonstruck chocolates together
and dose up on inuslin, and leave thier sharps all
over!!

I was there with my whole family and we 1st thought
it was a firework and then it was nonstop and
everyone was running or taking cover or laying on
top of their kids. It was the scariest thing ever and
yes it was a high power rifle and they shot up a
Military Propeller business. So lucky no one was hit.
