One man from Tuesday night's downtown Portland shooting remains hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his leg, while the 40-year-old suspect is being treated for an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his testicles, police said Wednesday.
An apparent robbery attempt between the two men who were neighbors led to the shooting just before 8 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment building in the 1400 block of Southwest Park Ave, police said.
During the dispute, the 40-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot the other man in the leg, police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said. The wounded 32-year-old man ran over to the Safeway on Southwest 10th Avenue and Columbia Street for help. He was later taken to the hospital with a leg injury.
As the suspect fled the scene, he accidentally shot himself in the groin, police said.
"The suspect's wound is consistent with somebody putting a gun in his pants," Simpson said Wednesday night.

You are correct, Eugene is much stranger.
I used to tell friends that there are people in Oregon who think Berkeley is a conservative town.
Saying all that, I do have dear friends who live in Oregon and I do miss “The Green”.

If you stick a pistol down the front of your pants and it snags on something, goes off and the bullet hits you in the scrotum, you might not have meant to do it, but it wasn’t strictly speaking an accident.
