PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – The Portland Police Bureau says two people are in custody after an hours-long standoff in the Forest Park neighborhood Monday.
According to officials, police received a 911 dispatch around 11:30 a.m. from an elderly husband and wife who claimed two people had broken into their home in the 7000 Block of Northwest Skyline Boulevard, forcing them out.
Just before 3 p.m., PPB began asking residents to avoid the neighborhood following the activation of the Special Emergency Reaction Team and Crisis Negotiation Teams.
