Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez responded to the scene shortly after the shooting.

"I'm obviously very concerned about gun violence in our community. Particularly in East County, but really throughout our county," he said. "I have always said that I'm someone that supports our law enforcement efforts, I support my DAs, and so I really want to make sure that they know that by me being here to see all this very firsthand."

He said he would seek justice for the family.
