Portland set to surpass homicide record from 1987

September 23, 2021

Portland has reported 63 homicides this year and is set to surpass the homicide record set in 1987.

With more than 830 shootings, Lt. Ken Duilio of Portland Police said, “This is the highest level of gun violence I’ve seen.”

Portland has seen a spike in violent crime after Democrats cut $27 million from Portland’s police budget.

Will Oregon Democrats Peter DeFazio and Kurt Schrader condemn Democrats’ anti-police platform and stand up for the safety of Oregonians?
