July 02 2021
Stephens Creek Crossing residents say they fear shooter's release after rampage that damaged homes, cars.
"People could've died," a man said, seated among nearly 50 neighbors outside the Stephens Creek Crossing apartments in Southwest Portland.
Another neighbor conveyed palpable fear and unease following a shooting two days prior that shook residents.
Stephens Creek residents gathered Thursday, July 1, for a community meeting with the apartment complex's management company, along with a Portland police officer. The community meeting followed a shooting early Tuesday, June 29, in which a man in a neighboring apartment building fired 29 bullets throughout the Stephens Creek complex following an altercation. No injuries were reported, but several homes and vehicles were struck.
