Police arrest Portland man accused of attempted murder, seize 5 guns

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man has been arrested and accused of attempted murder after a shooting happened in Northeast Portland earlier this month. 

On Monday, 54-year-old Terrence Jacob, of Portland, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center, the Portland Police Bureau said. 

This all stems from an April 5 shooting with officers responding around 4:30 p.m. near the area of Northeast 6th Avenue and Failing Street. Officers located one man who had been shot multiple times. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The suspect fled the scene, PPB said in a release.
