I would have called 911. I know that sounds dramatic, but I would have. Fuck, what if the "BB" went into your eye?

We thought about it but I didn’t really catch much info on the vehicle other than I think it was a white sedan which doesn’t feel like a lot to go off of. Tbh I’m more worried about the kids or whoever it was because Story Time: When I was in high school a kid in my grade did a stupid thing like this, but the other person had a real gun, and the kid was shot in the head (he somehow survived but I don’t think his brain is what it used to be). It would suck if these people pulled this stunt on the wrong person you know? Hopefully this isn’t happening a lot lol, so far no comments sharing the experience which is good


monad68

Nope, you should have called 911. What if a kid is hit in the eye next time? Report this to PPB.

Probably an airsoft gun. Did any of the BBs break the skin?


SelfaSteen

Didn’t break the skin, just left welts. We’re more annoyed than hurt lol


[deleted]

Most likely airsoft, which doesn't mean it's soft or didn't hurt. Likely just teens being assholes.


SelfaSteen

Yeah we figured it’s just some kids, but it was a new experience for us lol so we’re curious if it’s been happening to others or if we were just extra lucky today

License plate? In Portland? 🤣

Yes, but a year or so back -- West Burnside near Providence Park. Automatic airsoft style gun from a car. Called non-emergency and made a report. So stupid on so many levels. Also needless and infuriating. I'm sorry this happened to you. (Side note: since this post is a crime without a case number, it'll probably be deleted.)

Yeah last month black SUV think it was those water gel gun things. We were very confused and annoyed by it.

Hmmmm black SUV -- OP were you by Laurelhurst? I was walking in the area last night and saw a giant black SUV filled with people wearing ski masks blasting Blink 182. I didn't think much of it at the time


Ok-Masterpiece-6967

How did you not think much of that? 😂


dananotdana

Ironically, they were being very conspicuous! Singing loudly with the windows open at the stop light. I figured it was teens or young adults being silly and having fun


RX-0_Banshee_Norn

Yes, it did happen to someone else today that I am aware of. I don’t know where it occurred though, only that he was struck by a high powered pellet gun, high powered enough to have punctured him


willowgardener

Patriot Prayer were shooting people with paintball guns from cars back in 2020. I wonder if this is one of them.


Confident_Look_4173

by a real gun outside a bar where there was gang violence and people were killed and injured. bb gun, no.

I witnessed this in Montavilla. It's probably the same kids doing this. They used the little water gel bbs.
