Federal immigration agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the city.
A news release from the city of Portland stated that the federal agents shot the pair on Southeast Main Street shortly before 2:18 p.m., when Portland police were dispatched to the area.
Portland police officers were not involved in the shooting. They learned that a man had been shot and was requesting help near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street, and officers found a man and woman with gunshot wounds.
The two people were taken to the hospital, and their conditions are unknown, according to the city news release.
“We are still in the early stages of this incident,” said Portland police Chief Bob Day in the release. “We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more.”
Officers closed East Burnside Street westbound between Northeast 145th Avenue and Northeast 148th Avenue.
KATU reported that the two people were shot by Customs and Border Protection officers, not ICE officers.
Additional information about the shooting was not immediately available.
Portland City Council abruptly recessed due to a security concern Thursday afternoon, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.
City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney interrupted the meeting by saying: “Councilors, we actually need to recess immediately.”

A source told The Oregonian/OregonLive that city councilors were then informed, by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management deputy director, of a suspected shooting involving immigration enforcement agents.
Portland police arrested one person Wednesday while monitoring a downtown protest against the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis.
