Last school year, Portland Public Schools struggled with a number of shootings near school campuses, particularly high schools. Several of these shootings near schools resulted in injuries to students. So far this year, there has been no repeat of that violence.

In March 2023, three young men were gunned down near University Park in North Portland, including 19-year-old Isaac Daudi, a twelfth-grader at Roosevelt High School.
