[Saba Sports News] Shortly after midday on Friday, an emergency evacuation was initiated at Portland, Oregon’s Moda Center due to reports of gunfire near the ticket office. The Los Angeles Lakers, present for a pre-game session against the Portland Trail Blazers, were swiftly moved to safety.
According to KOIN, a dispute erupted between a man and woman inside a porta potty near the ticket office, leading to the gunfire. The specifics behind their shared presence in the porta potty and the nature of their conflict remain uncertain.
Subsequently, the man holed up inside the portable toilet while the uninjured woman left the area. Police successfully negotiated with the man, persuading him to leave the cramped and inadequately aired porta potty. He was detained shortly thereafter, although his charges were not immediately specified.
The police also disclosed their inability to find the unidentified woman involved in the incident.
Overall, the situation was quite unpleasant. Nevertheless, the Lakers’ game on Friday night proceeded as planned, culminating in a 107-95 win for the Lakers.
