🚨 On Thursday, January 8, 2026, two people were wounded in a shooting involving U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents in downtown Portland, Oregon.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Border Patrol officers were acting in self-defense after a driver allegedly weaponized their vehicle and attempted to run them over during a targeted traffic stop. Both victims were rushed to the hospital; their conditions are currently unknown.
Portland police told reporters they have no hard evidence yet that the vehicle was actually weaponized. Authorities are combing through body-cam footage and eyewitness accounts to piece together exactly what happened.
It's like a plot twist in a blockbuster movie 🎬, but this was real life—and it highlights the split-second decisions officers and civilians face in tense situations.
