Shot While Trying to Stop a Fight | Portland News

A Portland man named Jahan was walking his usual Saturday night route when he stepped in to stop a brutal brawl — only to be shot himself, with the bullet still lodged near his hip, causing daily agony. Doctors can’t yet remove it, and he’s now facing lifelong physical and emotional scars. His story highlights Portland’s ongoing violence crisis — shootings down 12% this year, but 320 investigations since January — and Jahan’s plea for peace, saying violence destroys lives on every side. A fundraiser is open to help with his medical bills, and police urge witnesses to come forward. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
