I’m going to put raw, emotional and, to some, difficult-to-watch video on KATU tonight.
We don’t normally do this, but we feel it’s vitally important we show the gun violence problem for what it is.
We want you to know Katie Guzenko. We want you to know he scar story. There will be video of blood and of Katie in horror shortly after she was shot while driving.

There will be a "Bull Shit" that runs without a beep in our newscasts.

What we will show is real because you deserve to understand the story as reporters see it on the ground.

SKYRISE EXPLOSIVES?

South Portland renters say someone is, repeatedly, throwing some sort of explosive out their window/porch.

It's erupting on the busy walkway below.

Neighbors say, the latest incident happened on Friday night, when people were out enjoying their weekend. Neighbors have gone to management/police but say change isn't happening soon enough. They want an immediate eviction.

Police did get the call about the Friday night incident but were busy with a homicide. PPBS says the apartment is dealing with it civilly, i.e. eviction.

JUST IN: We got video of Clack. Co. Elections on 5/19. We submitted a public records request for this Friday, when McLeod-Skinner's team formally complained, saying Rep. Schrader's observer was allowed to be inside an hour before Mc-Leod-Skinner's observer. Here's the backstory:

Rep. Schrader's team told me Friday that it was Clerk Sherry Hall who opened the door and allowed them inside, but Hall told us ""I don't know how someone got in at 7 [o'clock]."

INDOOR MASKING IN OREGON -- It's likely here to STAY.

Today, @OHAOregon worked with stakeholders (like those in the restaurant industry, business assoc., etc.) to discuss making the current indoor mask mandate permanent.

#LiveOnK2 Yes -- that may sound alarming. Here's what you need to know about it:

-The current rule is temporary. It can't be in place more than 180 days.
-Making the rule permanent allows the state to keep the rule.
-The rule can be repealed.

.@PortlandPolice tells us so far this year there have been 62 deadly crashes on Portland streets. 26 of those crashes have involved pedestrians. PPB says we haven't seen this high of numbers in decades. #LiveOnK2 Image PPB says some of the city's houselessness population have died in these crashes.

"Some of them were impaired, some of them it’s the nature of where their camps - where they’ve set up their home," PPB's Sgt. Engstrom said.

Legacy Health employees tell us hundreds of healthcare workers were denied their #COVID19 vaccine exemption.

They were emailed Monday. One respiratory therapist, Coleman Nagy, shared his letter with us.

How is the health system determining which exemptions will be honored: If your exemption didn't meet the consistency/specificity criteria, your request was denied.

Nagy told: "your request was carefully reviewed and your request for religious exemption was denied because the information you provided does not meet one or more of the criteria.”

Journalism means telling the whole story. You can’t accurately tell a story you know nothing about. That’s why we spend so much time interviewing people impacted (just as we did today before this incident). We had every right to be there/record. I went into broadcast journalism because I value the importance of video. We can bring scenes into your living room - for you to watch - and we give you the facts. This was our effort to show you what was behind the barricades. We stayed on public property.
