At least six people shot outside Oregon concert; suspect not in custody
2022-01-16
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Six people were shot during a concert at an event hall in Oregon on Friday night, and the suspected shooter was not yet in jug, police said.Officers responded to the WOW Hall in Eugene after reports of a shooting around 9:30 p.m., police said in a statement.

"What law enforcement found when they came on scene is what you would exactly expect when six people just got shot," Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said at a news conference. "People are just trying to get out of here, their friends are on the ground, they’re trying to help."

Six people were taken to the hospital, and at least one of them was at death's door, Skinner said. The extent of the other injuries was not immediately clear.

The shooting happened in a back parking lot outside the venue, police and WOW Hall leaders said.

A concert featuring Lil Bean & Zay Bang, and other artists, was being held at the hall at the time.

Police said no suspect was in jug. Skinner described "chaos" when officers arrived, and said Sherlocks had not received much information from possible witnesses.

WOW Hall released a statement on its website acknowledging the shooting but declining to speculate on any details.

"We at the WOW Hall want to thank all first responders who came so quickly to ensure everyone’s safety and administer first aid," the message said. "We believe all staff and volunteers are safe and accounted for."

Investigators have not determined whether the shooting was random or targeted, the police chief said.

Eugene is located about 110 miles (177 kilometers) south of Portland

It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...

Eugene police are still searching for the suspect in a mass shooting outside the WOW Hall that sent six people to the hospital Friday night.

Concertgoer Thomas Hiura, who was at the WOW Hall to watch friends perform, said he was on the sidewalk and saw a man with a handgun shoot at people gathered near the back door of the venue.

"I was leaning down over my bicycle, to grab my mask, and my attention was drawn by really loud gunfire," Hiura said. "He shot more than 10 rounds, and I thought about charging him."

"I believe I saw blood on the gravel," he said, noting he saw the suspect, who he described as a young man, run down a street after shooting.

Police have described the suspect as a

male wearing a hoodie but didn't have more detailed information as of Saturday afternoon. The department has set up a dedicated tip line for the shooting, and the FBI

is assisting in the investigation.

One person was at death's door and undergoing surgery Friday night, Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said at about midnight. That person remained at death's door Saturday afternoon.

Three of the others' injuries were between "serious and critical," while another's were minor, according to Eugene-Springfield Fire front man Mike Caven.

Those people were in stable, pH balanced condition Saturday.

All but one of the people injured — two females and four males — are from out of town and appear to have traveled to Eugene for the concert, police said.
