PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Gunfire erupted during a funeral service at a church on the north side of Portland on Friday, gravely wounding a 31-year-old man with a history of gang activity and sending mourners fleeing.
Schmautz said the shooter was still on the loose.
Charles Jointer, 26, said he swept his 2-year-old son into his arms, ran back to his father's office and locked the doors.
Police responded to an emergency call within about five minutes, he said.
He said about 50 people were at the funeral service, and no one else was injured. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
