ly appeared to be an auto accident

I ed to l.inanuel Hospital, where he

Homicide Investigation
Portland Police are investigating
I a shooting that left a man dead and
I a woman injured, and ended in the
| suicide o fth e suspect
Ih e shooting occurred at the
franklin Market at SF, 50th Ave. and
Woodward St. at about 2:54 pin
Apparently , the suspect shot the man
I and the woman, the store owners,
I during a argument. All three people
1 knew each other, and the dispute
I apparently was in regards to an ongo-
I ing domestic problem between Ihe
suspect and his estranged wife.
The shooting left the man, Kwang
I Kum Yang, DOB 0 3 -0 8 -1 6 dead
from m ultiple g u n sh o t w o u n d s and
w ounded the w om an, Y ongsill
Yang, DOB 0 1 - 17-48. She was trans­
ported to OHSU.
fo llo w in g the shooting, the sus­
pect lied in his van. Tw o Southeast
Precinct officers on patrol in the area
arrived shortly after the suspect tied,
and w itnesses were able to give the
officers a description o f th e suspect
and the van.
At about 3:05 pm Southeast Pre­
cinct officers found the van at SE
31st Ave., and Powell Blvd. and at­
tem pted to stop it. The van did not
stop and continued eastbound.
At about SE 38th Ave., pursuing
officers observed the driver put a gun
to his head, then shoot himself, fh e
van continued for about another block
before colliding with o th e r cars
stopped for the light at SE 39th
Ave.
O fficers believed that a second
arm ed suspect might be hiding in
the van, so the Special Em ergency
Reaction Team was activated and |
checked the van. No one else was in
the van.
D uring the operation and ensu­
ing investigation, traffic east and
west on Powell Blvd was blocked.
I he nam e o f th e suspect will be j
released by the M edical Exam in­
e r ’s office pending notification o f I
relatives.
D etectives Susan Hill and Craig I
Yost are the investigators.

then told them to get in his car.
The boys mother, who was w atch­
ing the kids from inside her house
went outside, at which time the sus­

The Portland Bureau o f Fire, Res-
cue& Emergency Services has adopt­
ed all ofthe public elementary schools
in the area served by the Bureau.
In an effort to reduce the num ber
o f juvenile related fires, every ele­
mentary school will have a represen­
tative fire com pany or person as­
signed to the school.
Don Porth, Senior Inspector and
D irector o f the O ffice o f Public Ed­
ucation for the Fire Bureau stated,
"Juvenile related fires are increasing
in every category.” That m eans the
total n u m b ero fju v en ilecau sed fires,
the num ber o f juvenile arson, and the
ratio o fju v en ile caused fires to total
fires is increasing.
Each year in Portland, an average
o f two people die through childrens
misuse o f m atches and I ighters. A Iso,
an average o f $750,000.00 in dam ­
age is caused by children playing
with fire.
Each fire station in the Portland
Fire Bureau is tasked with making
contact with elem entary schools in
the area they serve. In form ing a
partnership with those schools, and
getting to know the ch ildren, we hope
to reduce the num ber o f youth related
fires.
The Youth Education program is
the um brella concept for all o f the
youth related injury prevention pro­
gram s the Fire Bureau will be using
in the future. T he A dopt-A -School
program is one com ponent o f that
strategy.
We have categorized all schools
by the num ber o f juvenile related
fires in the com m unity served by the
schools, and reports we received from
various agencies.
As time and financing perm its, we
will be supplying all elem entary
schools with copies o f Learn N ot To
Burn fire curriculum and copies o f
the accom panying resource books.
Also, each school will receive two
copies o f the “ Friends From Your
Fire Station” video.
The material is free and will be
sent to your neighborhood schools as
soon as we can.
To date, Portland G eneral E lec­
tric has g e n e ro u sly c o n trib u te d
$10,000 for curriculum purchase.
fhe Portland Bureau o f Fire, Res­
cue & Em ergency Services w ants to
partner with your neighborhood and
your school and help in any way we
can.
Check with your school to see if
they are taking advantage o f this p ro ­
gram.
