Portland has rarely seen a deadlier weekend. A mass shooting at Normandale Park left one dead. A drive by shooter killed a mother and wounded her 1 and 5 year old. Portland police fatally shot a man while responding to a disturbance call.

On the latest episode of Beat Check, we chat with Maxine Bernstein and Shane Dixon Kavanaugh. Max has covered police and law enforcement issues for the Oregonian since 1998. Shane is our Portland City Hall reporter.

We talked about the unprecedented – and continued – gun violence in Portland, what police and political leaders are saying, the potential ripple effects, the devastating shootings last weekend and much more.
