Man shot, killed by police in Northeast Portland; investigation underway

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man was shot and killed by two officers responding to a theft report in Northeast Portland on Wednesday, authorities said.

The shooting, which took place near Northeast Marx Drive and Northeast 92nd Drive just after 10 a.m., happened after an “encounter” between the two officers and the man when the officers who responded to a theft call were led to an RV parked nearby, police said.
