Gunfire erupts inside Rockwood Village Apartments during targeted shooting

Nearly 40 shots were fired inside a Rockwood apartment complex, narrowly missing children sleeping inside neighboring units, and leading to a Gresham Police investigation.

Officers responded Sunday evening, April 28, to the Rockwood Village Apartments, 783 S.E. 185th Ave., after multiple 911 callers reported hearing 10-12 shots in the hallways of the building.

During the investigation officers learned there had been a target residence, though multiple apartments had been struck with bullets, many with young children inside. No one was hurt during the shooting.

It is unclear why the apartment was targeted by the shooters. The suspects fled before police arrived. Nearly 40 shell casings were recovered by officers.
