PORTLAND, Oregon (KPTV) — Portland police detained a man Wednesday morning after allegedly shooting a pellet gun at a woman in Southeast Portland.

Officers responded to the 8200 block of Southeast 82nd Avenue just after 6 a.m. after a woman called to report that she was shot at. She told officers she asked a guy working on a car to turn down his loud music. When he refused, she continued to urge him until he pulled out a gun and shot at her.

Officers detained the man, who has not been identified, and then found out it was a pellet gun and that he also threw a firecracker that didn’t fire.

PPB is forwarding the case to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.
