A Fox News article implied that a shooting in Portland was related to protests against police violence and systemic racism, and other conservative media followed suit. The problem? The shooting happened 5 miles away from demonstrations.

Just after 11 p.m. on Friday night, Portland police responded to the 600 block of Northeast 87th Avenue to find the woman had been shot in the arm and more than 150 shots fired in the area.

The woman was taken to a hospital with what police said were non-life-threatening injuries. Police said at least eight occupied apartments and seven vehicles were struck by bullets, but no other injuries were reported.

That same night, a couple of thousand protestors gathered in downtown for the 65th straight night of protests in Portland against systemic racism and police violence after the killing of George Floyd. The Multnomah County Justice Center, the frequent focal point of protests, is about 5 miles from where the shooting took place in Montavilla.
