Man shot on I-5 overpass in Woodburn, police say
WOODBURN, Ore. – Police said one man was shot on the Interstate 5 overpass in Woodburn Saturday night.
Officers responded to the busy overpass at 7 p.m. Lejeune Bryant had multiple gunshot wounds, but police said his injuries were not life-threatening.
“I heard three really quick gunshots,” said D.J. Cowdrey, who works at a nearby restaurant. “Ten seconds later there was a really big blast, like a shotgun. So I came running back in the building. Customers were coming in that had laid down in the parking lot when it happened.”
Police said the shooter, Ethan Carey, was detained and taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
No arrests have been made at this time. It's unclear what caused the altercation between Carey and Bryant.
The overpass, located near the Woodburn Company Stores, was closed for several hours while police investigated the shooting.
“That’s why the customers were so scared. Because the outlet mall is right there,” said Cowdrey. “They had just left the outlet mall. Everybody assumed it was there.”
They ask anyone who saw the incident to call Detective Aaron Devoe at 503-982-2345.

The "reporter" (read "news reader") could have asked spectators for names, descriptions, etc. Â When the police fail to release information of interest to the community, it's time for the press to (1) ask witnesses and actually report events, and (2) lean on the police to tell them what's going on. Â That's what the press is for and police - who currently think they can run rough shod over the community -- should be reminded they are - gasp, public servants.
@Reis Kash ---they cannot be public servants, if they are dead...gasp. If you think you can serve the public better, then let's see you take a shot at police academy.
and, I do not think police run rough shod over the community. You are delusional, and watch too much TV
WOW and no info on who's who ..Nice Job KVAL common you can do better=(

If the police don't release info, how would they get it then?

Since you are all knowing, why don't you fart the info out and tell us what the names are.
