North Precinct officers responded to a call early afternoon Monday about a shooting at the Cascadian Terrace Apartments, located at 5700 North Kerby Avenue. As officers were responding to the scene they learned that two people were shot by a known suspect who fled the scene.

Officers and medical personnel arrived and located the two victims, a 45-year-old male and a 64-year-old female, suffering from serious but not life-threatening injuries. Both victims were transported by ambulance to a Portland hospital for treatment.
