A suspect is facing charges after shooting a man and stabbing a woman in the Centennial Neighborhood.
On Monday, October 24, 2022 at 5:07a.m., East Precinct officers responded to a report of someone shot at a home in the 2100 block of Southeast 156th Avenue. Officers arrived and found that a man had been shot and a woman had been stabbed. The victims were transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
The suspect was reported to be still in the home. Officers contained the scene and negotiated with the subject to come out. He complied and was arrested.
The assaults were determined to be domestic violence related, so the Portland Police Special Victims Unit responded to investigate. A gun and a knife were taken as evidence. Detectives booked Patrick K. Shorb, 73, for Attempted Murder in the Second Degree (Domestic Violence), Assault in the First Degree (2 counts Domestic Violence), Burglary in the First Degree, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon (2 counts).
The victims’ injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
