One dead, six wounded in downtown Portland, Oregon, shooting
The victims were taken by ambulance to a hospital, where the woman was treated for what police had described as serious wounds.
The woman, who was not identified, died at a hospital, police said in a statement later Saturday.
The Portland Police Bureau updated the number of victims, saying a total of seven people — not eight, as it reported earlier — had been struck by gunfire.
The other six victims sustained wounds of varying degrees of severity, though the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, police said.
Officers did not locate a suspect or suspects and no arrests had been made, police said.
Parts of Southwest Third Avenue were closed during the investigation, police said.
The Portland shooting — which police said occurred just after 2 a.m. — is the latest in a spate of gun violence that has gripped US cities this summer.
With states lifting Covid-19 restrictions and more people out in warmer weather, US cities have been experiencing a surge in shootings and homicide numbers.
The child was pronounced dead at a local hospital, police said. Three men and two women sustained non-life-threatening injuries, said Metropolitan Police Department Executive Assistant Chief Ashan Benedict.
