Slingshot Attack at Portland Transit | Portland News

A 25-year-old man named Jonas Tarauo was arrested early Saturday at Portland’s Gateway Transit Center after allegedly firing rocks with a slingshot at a couple, one of which struck the woman—though she was unharmed. Tarauo claims he targeted the man because he previously chased him with a machete, saying he used the slingshot to confront him, not to harm. He admits accidentally breaking TriMet windows while aiming and was found nearby with more rocks and the weapon. Police collected evidence, including glass and rocks, as he faces charges for unlawful weapon use and criminal mischief. The incident left shattered windows and raised questions about how quickly tensions can spiral out of control. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
