Portland Residence Targeted by Second Shooting in 3 Months

by Edward Tomic | Jan 15, 2025

A Portland residence on Eleanor Street was targeted by a second shooting this week, just months after gunfire pierced a gas line at the home in October.

Portland Police say they responded to 12 Eleanor St. for a report of shots fired shortly before midnight on Monday.

Officers found several suspected bullet holes in the duplex home, with at least one passing through a window and others into the siding.

Witnesses told police that they heard four to five loud bangs prior to making the 911 call.

The same house was targeted by a shooting on Oct. 13, 2024, when police also found several bullet holes in the front of the duplex.

Police also could smell gas at the scene, and found that a gas line had been struck by the gunshots.

Portland Police have not announced any arrests in relation to this incident or the previous shooting from October.
