PPB Responding to Hostage Situation
July 04, 2022 14:12
Portland Negotiators and SERT are addressing an individual purported to be holding a hostage inside a residence.
On July 4, 2022, at approximately 12:01pm, East Precinct officers responded to the 3800 Block of Southeast 105th Avenue after being called to check on the welfare of a resident. After arriving, officers received information indicating this was a hostage situation. Officers consulted with the Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT) and Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), who have since responded to the scene.
While CNT and SERT work to safely resolve this situation, Southeast Bush Street will be closed from 104th to 110th Avenue, and Southeast 105th will be closed from Southeast Francis Street to Southeast Bush Street.
A PIO is responding to the scene and has designated the media staging area to be the parking lot of Ron Russell Middle School, located at 3955 Southeast 112th Avenue.
