On Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 1:04 P.M., Central Precinct Officers responded to a call of BB guns being fired at businesses, passing vehicles, and pedestrians in the 10 Block of Northwest Trinity Place, near the intersection with West Burnside Street. After contacting victims and witnesses, officers were able to narrow down the window from which the shots were coming. Officers closed off sidewalks in the area for the safety of people walking by. Officers went to the apartment and arrested two suspects. They seized two CO2 cartridge-powered BB pistols and metal BB ammunition (PHOTO). Both suspects were booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center. 19-year-old Hayden B.
