Portland Police Officers seized 11 firearms in two days this week.
The guns were all seized during separate incidents, under a wide range of circumstances.
The number of firearms seized is not abnormal, and represents the typical number of firearm seizures occurring in the city.
To date, the Portland Police Bureau has recovered 900 firearms in 2021, despite lacking available officers to engage in proactive police work.
With three months left, this exceeds the number of firearms seized in 2020.
