This is Portland Police saying this, so a slightly smaller grain of salt than the Rock of Gibraltar sized one for the DHS tweet.
Male shot in the arm released to FBI custody, female shot in the chest still hospitalized and stable.

“Couple was extra-judicially murdered because…”
There is no way to conclude that sentence that anyone should give a rat’s ass about. If you buy this sort of post-facto justification for the Brown Shirts murdering people, you’re a Nazi.
I don’t disagree, but for the sake of accuracy, both are still alive. One shot in the arm has been discharged from the hospital, the other shot in the chest is still hospitalized but stable.
For the sake of fairness, attempted murder is just as bad as successful murder in terms of intent. It’s good that the victims didn’t die on the spot, at least.
So the person that was shot, who has ties with a gang, had no pending charges and was released from the hospital? That sounds a lot like, “We had no reason to shoot them.”
Released to FBI custody.
