Sources report that two individuals were shot by federal agents in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday.

Portland police received an urgent call at approximately 2:30 p.m. Upon arrival, they found a man and a woman suffering from what appeared to be gunshot injuries.

A statement from the Portland Police Department confirmed the shooting involved federal agents, explicitly stating they were not part of the police force.

Police officers administered first aid, using a tourniquet, while emergency medical services were summoned. Both victims were transported to a hospital, though their current health status remains undetermined.

The call for assistance came from a location around Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street, where the victims were located. The prior shooting incident occurred roughly three miles away, along the 10200 block of Southeast Main Street.

The FBI is actively investigating the incident, according to sources familiar with the situation.
