PORTLAND – The names of three victims of Saturday's shooting at a Southeast Portland strip club were released Monday.
The shooting started around 8:40 p.m. Saturday, when a gunman walked into the Mystic Gentleman’s Club at Southeast Stark Street and Southeast 99th Avenue and opened fire, said Sgt. Pete Simpson with Portland police.
The shooter hit three people, prompting a person in the bar to return fire, hitting and critically injuring the suspect.
Brian Rizzo, a 26-year-old male security guard from the club, was hit by the shooter and was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
Gonzalo Zamora-Hernandez, 31, and Nichole Procter, 27, were treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries, Simpson said.
The shooter was not identified and he remains in critical but stable condition at a Portland hospital.
The person who returned fire and hit the suspect was not arrested and was cooperating with police.
“Portland is a safe city; however, gun violence is pervasive. As we've seen elsewhere, it's really easy for someone with a gun to hurt a lot of people,” said Sgt. Greg Stewart with the Portland Police Bureau.
Detectives don’t believe the shooting was gang-related and don’t believe there are other suspects.
In July of 2012, a man was shot and killed in the parking lot of the same strip club. Three people were arrested in the death.
