The title, released last week, revises the draft caption follow- ing comments from the public and the chief petitioners, The Oregonian reported. It reads: “Prohibits ‘Assault Weapons’ (Defined), ‘Large Capacity Magazines’ (Defined), Unless Registered With State Police. Criminal Penalties.” The draft version stated the possession or transfer of the weapons or the magazines would be criminalized with exceptions under the initiative. A ballot title for a measure is restricted to 15 words and must give the subject matter, accord- ing to the state Department of Justice. The initiative that petition- ers are working to get on the November ballot would define assault weapons as certain semi-automatic rifles and pis- tols that use detachable mag- azines and have other mili- tary-style features. In addition to restricting assault weapons, the initiative would ban the manufacture and sale of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammu- nition. Law enforcement and military personnel would be exempt. Existing gun owners would be required to register with the state and pass criminal back- ground checks. Failure to do so would result in criminal prosecution. The office of state Attor- ney General Ellen Rosenblum reworked the caption and the explanation of the initiative’s effects following the release of the draft title in April.

If I were two minutes later, that would have been me, or if I had just walked that normal route, that would have been me,” Caputo said. “A lot of people were crying.” Police cordoned off sev- eral blocks around the crash. A green sweater, a pair of sneak- ers, a pink slipper and one black bike glove lay scattered on the sidewalk near a small splash of blood. The crash stunned the city on the Friday before Memorial Day. On that Friday last year, a passenger fatally stabbed two men and wounded a third on a light-rail train as it pulled into a station.

Greg Phillip Porter, 61, is being held at the Multnomah County jail on several counts, including three counts each of attempted murder and assault. Someone called 911 after spotting a blue SUV that matched the description of the vehicle that struck the women near a light-rail station close to Portland State University, police Sgt. Pete Simpson said. Police have not yet deter- mined a motive. Authorities said they were getting a search warrant to seize the car with a crum- pled hood and have yet to rule out intoxication, mental health problems or a medical incident as the reason for the crash. The names of the victims have not been released. Sgt. Chris Burley said one victim was in critical condi- tion at a hospital and another was in serious condition. The family of the third woman asked that no updates be given about her health.
