Portland police release video of officer-involved shooting to quell 'misinformation' after violent protest


The Portland Police Bureau on Friday identified the man killed as 40-year-old Michael Ray Townsend. The police department also released video of the incident showing Townsend lunging at a group of six officers with an object in his hand before he was fatally shot. The bureau released a prior mugshot of Townsend provided by the Multnomah County Sheriff. "After officers arrived with paramedics, they encountered a man matching that description and an officer-involved shooting took place," the bureau said in an initial statement. The man shot was transported by ambulance to a hospital, but lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful.
