On Monday, August 21, 2023 at 1:09a.m., an East Precinct officer was enroute to a low priority call. When he drove in the area of Southeast 112th Avenue and Southeast Holgate Boulevard, he saw two suspects who appeared to be firing guns at an apartment building. The officer activated his overhead police lights and was preparing to challenge the suspects when they ran away into the blocks. The officer requested assistance and numerous other officers responded quickly and set up a perimeter between Southeast Holgate Boulevard north to Southeast Boise Street between Southeast 112th Avenue and Southeast 114th Avenue.

The incident commander requested a community notification be sent out to shelter in place within the perimeter.

The apartment building where the shots were fired was checked and there were no injured people found.
