Suspect caught, tried, convicted and fried would be a happy ending.

Grok:

“He is accused of shooting two Portland Police Bureau officers on January 19, 2026, during a confrontation after officers responded to a report of him threatening someone with a knife. He faces multiple felony charges, including two counts each of attempted murder in the first degree, first-degree assault, and unlawful use of a weapon. He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.

• There is also evidence of at least one prior arrest leading to conviction. In a 2013 federal appeals case (USA v. Eric Oelkers, No. 12-30018), he appealed a conviction for felon in possession of a firearm, which stemmed from events around 2010 or earlier (he was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2012 for that charge). Court records referenced in 2026 news coverage describe his criminal history dating back more than two decades, with convictions including menacing, robbery, and felon in possession of a firearm.

Additional context from reports:

• He had a pending bench warrant related to an alleged armed bank robbery in May 2022 (charges included second-degree robbery, first-degree theft, and menacing), for which he failed to comply with pretrial release conditions.

• His history includes other run-ins with law enforcement, such as vandalism and gun-related offenses

It’s Portland, Oregon. Soooo soft on crime. Soooo anti-law enforcement.
It’s not likely that the perp will receive a proper sentence.
