A shooting in Wood Village has left one man critically injured and prompted an investigation by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and the East County Major Crimes Team. The incident, which reportedly occurred during a robbery, took place on Monday night on the 23700 block of Northeast Halsey Street.
At approximately 10:15 p.m., MCSO deputies rushed to quickly respond following reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, they found a victim with a gunshot wound. The man was swiftly transported to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
