PORTLAND – The names of three victims of Saturday's shooting at a Southeast Portland strip club were released Monday.

The shooting started around 8:40 p.m. Saturday, when a gunman walked into the Mystic Gentleman’s Club at Southeast Stark Street and Southeast 99th Avenue and opened fire, said Sgt. Pete Simpson with Portland police.

The shooter hit three people, prompting a person in the bar to return fire, hitting and critically injuring the suspect.

Brian Rizzo, a 26-year-old male security guard from the club, was hit by the shooter and was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

Gonzalo Zamora-Hernandez, 31, and Nichole Procter, 27, were treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries, Simpson said.

The shooter was not identified and he remains in critical but stable condition at a Portland hospital.

The person who returned fire and hit the suspect was not arrested and was cooperating with police.

“Portland is a safe city; however, gun violence is pervasive. As we've seen elsewhere, it's really easy for someone with a gun to hurt a lot of people,” said Sgt. Greg Stewart with the Portland Police Bureau.

Detectives don’t believe the shooting was gang-related and don’t believe there are other suspects.

And I can post a hundred articles that prove the opposite. Why don't I? Because none of it proves any more than you want to believe. Its just shite.

The problem is the bad guys always have guns. The good guys seldom do. In this case, the good guy did have a gun and ended the incident. It may have been far worse otherwise.

It doesn't matter, not one whit. A gun nut intervened, and the story had a happy ending. But he's still a gun nut, therefore in the wrong. Right, TBD?
