Asha Parson, the President of the Oregon District Business Association, shared on social media that they were aware of the shooting.
“As many of you are aware, an incident occurred in the Oregon District late last night involving a shooting. We know there is a lot of information—and misinformation—circulating on social media right now," Parson said in the post.
Four people were injured, all with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Parson.
Parson added that the shooting took place after hours when the District’s businesses and bars had closed, and standard security and police presence had wrapped up for the evening.
“While this is a deeply upsetting event, it does not reflect the daily reality of our vibrant, tight-knit community. The Oregon District remains a safe, welcoming place, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure it stays that way,” Parson said in the post.
The Oregon District was reopened to normal traffic this morning, and all shops, restaurants, and venues are open.
“The best way we can support our District right now is by standing together and continuing to show up for the small businesses that make this neighborhood the heart of our city. We are incredibly grateful for the swift response of our first responders last night, and for your continued support and vigilance,” Parson said in the post.
News Center 7 is working to learn what led up to the shooting and if anyone is in custody.
