“This is a stark reminder of the dangers of the job, the jobs that our officers go out every day to serve and protect our community,” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said during a press conference.

The two officers were taken to a hospital in stable condition, Portland police spokesman Detective Jon Richardson said.

Mayor Wilson later echoed concern for the officers’ well‑being and wished them a “speedy recovery.”

The investigation remains active as police continue to search for the suspect.
