ROBBERS STOPPED WHEN MAN IN APARTMENT FIRES SHOTGUN

Four armed robbers broke into an apartment early
Monday but were thwarted when a man inside shot one of
the robbers with a shotgun.

Investigators said three men and a 15-year old boy
broke into the apartment in the 2700 block of NE 205th
Avenue about 3am. All four were armed with handguns
and knives.

Inside the apartment were two men, a woman and a
3-month old baby. They were unharmed.

Capt. Brian Martinek of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s
Office said shortly after the suspects entered the
home, a man living inside the pulled out the shotgun
he had in his bedroom and shot one of the men in the
shoulder.

Police arrested Jerry K. Anderson, 25, of Southeast
Portland a short time later at Legacy Mount Hood
Hospital in Gresham, where he had gone to seek
treatment for the gunshot wound.

Two other suspects, Joshua L. Smith, 19, and Arthur L.
Jenkins, 15, both of Gresham, were arrested later
Monday in Southeast Portland.

A fourth man, whom police declined to identify,
remains free.

The three suspects are accused of three counts of
first-degree robbery, three counts of first-degree
burglary and one count of first-degree kidnapping.
