There was a shooting at a hotel in Portland, Oregon, and two individuals were killed, according to the police. Police from the Port of Portland responded to a gunshot at the Embassy Suites Portland Airport Hotel at about 2 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
The deaths of a man and a woman have been confirmed, authorities said. No one knows who they are because their identities have not been verified.
“There is no ongoing threat to the PDX airport or the surrounding area at this time,” the Port of Portland Police said.
The situation is being looked into at the moment. According to KATU, an ABC affiliate in Portland, guests at the hotel reported hearing at least a dozen gunshots and seeing blood on the floor before being led out by police.
