3 am gunshots near Tiny's MLK (inner NE), police closed off the road for hours, I can't find ANYTHING about it.

Help Me

I live in one of the houses across the street from the MLK memorial park, there's always fucked up stuff going on there. Last night around 3 am (I was already awake) I heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being fired, 5 or 6 times, very close. Cops came almost immediately, blocked off the whole road, there was police tape surrounding the outside of the Albina Community Bank and a section of the empty lot across the street. I heard one of the first cops on the scene tell another about "a shooter" and the second squad car immediately took off headed North, and the whole area was closed off until around 5. I can't find anything about it, not even a mention. I have to assume no one was hurt, simply because I didn't see any medical response, but I'd like to know what exactly went down. My girlfriend was asleep in the room closest to the park and I always worry about this exact kind of scenario happening, with the amount of fighting that happens just outside of our windows. Anyone know anything? At all? Apologies in advance for clarity, I'm s little less than well rested.
