We were out tonight for his GF's birthday and him and his family are suppose to leave for Mexico tomorrow morning. So after dinner we decided to not go out so he could go home and pack. Along the way home, him and another one of my buddies stopped by an ATM to pull out some money. My bestfriend was in the passenger side and my other buddy was driving, after getting the money he got back into the car. That's when some guy walked up to the car and pumped 5 shots into the car from point blank. Barely missing my friend in the driver seat but hitting my other friend in both of his arms.
At first when they called me all frantic I thought they were joking. Apparently after the guy shot up the car, they booked it away from the bank and stopped at a 7-11 up the street where they called 911. When I first talked to them they just said my friend was shot twice and they had to go and I should hurry to the 7-11. After that I had no clue whether he was dead or they were joking or what, complete shock.
I guess one bullet is lodged into his left arm and broke one of his bones and the other one went through his hand and grazed his other arm.
Complete random utter bullsh!t completely pisses me off like this. No hesitation the guy just walks up and fires into the car, we think he was hoping to kill them and then take the money or something.
Oh yea they didn't catch the guy yet either. I'm still in shock and I can't imagine what's going through their heads at this point. We tried to stay at the hospital as late as we could but they kicked us out cuz he's going into surgery later.
so PSA: don't go to ATM's late at night plz.

it's the first link on the right that says 'Portland man shot' under Video on Demand.
My friend was released today and will have to go back later to get the bullet remvoed from his arm. The police were trying to hint to my friends that they were trying to do a drug deal that went bad, I kind of had that feeling too when I spoke to the cops yesterday also that they were suspicious of the situation. But I suppose it's their job to think of all the angles.
