A shooting was reported outside of Rosemary Anderson High School in North Portland, Oregon.
Three students, two male and one female, were shot outside of the school then ran back indoors for help after they were wounded. The suspect, or suspects, remain at large, according to KGW, an NBC affiliate, though police have said this is "not an active shooter" situation. The shooter did not enter the school during the incident.

Those shot were taken out of the school on gurneys, and all were responsive when they were loaded into ambulances. The shooting occurred outside of the high school campus. KATU, a local television channel, reports that the police believe the shooting may be gang related.
On its website, Rosemary Anderson describes itself as a "community-based alternative high school" for "at-risk students [who] have either been expelled or dropped out of public high school and many are homeless." Fewer than 200 students attend the school.
Two nearby schools, Jefferson High School and Portland Community College are on lockdown as a result of the shooting. Mayor Charlie Hales arrived on the scene shortly after the shooting.
