A shooting at a Eugene, Oregon concert venue on Friday night has left six people injured.
According to the Eugene Police Department, they don’t yet have a suspect in custody. Reports of shots fired started coming in around 9:30 p.m. at WOW Hall.
“What law enforcement found when they came on scene is what you would exactly expect when six people just got shot,” Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner said at a news conference. “People are just trying to get out of here, their friends are on the ground, they’re trying to help.”
WOW Hall also issued a statement on its website regarding the shooting but didn’t reveal much more.
“We at the WOW Hall want to thank all first responders who came so quickly to ensure everyone’s safety and administer first aid,” the venue said. “We believe all staff and volunteers are safe and accounted for.”
Police haven’t been able to collect much information from witnesses and haven’t been able to ascertain whether it was random or targeted. Eugene is around 110 miles south of Portland.
