Portland teen charged with domestic terrorism after cafeteria chemical mix

A 15-year-old student at Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland faces 19 criminal charges, including domestic terrorism and attempted murder, after mixing chemicals in the school cafeteria on September 8. The incident released toxic hydrogen sulfide gas, critically injuring the teen and requiring medical care for at least seven others. Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez is seeking to move the case from juvenile to adult court, citing the severity of the threat and prior evidence of the teen’s interest in explosives. While the defense team denies the allegations and notes the teen is receiving inpatient mental health treatment, prosecutors have linked the case to the violent online network '764,' which the FBI says targets children through social media and gaming platforms.

Chesney’s Hospital Visit Offer Highlights Contrast in West Coast Coaching Cultures

UCLA head coach Bob Chesney offered to personally visit Oregon quarterback Dante Moore in the hospital after a severe injury, a gesture Oregon coach Dan Lanning praised as genuine. This act of sportsmanship stands in sharp contrast to the criticism facing USC coach Lincoln Riley, who was faulted for missing the aftermath of the hit that hospitalized Moore. While Chesney has led UCLA to a 4-0 start, Riley’s program faces scrutiny over its handling of the incident and recent losses.

Oregon Governor Race Deadlocked as Economic Woes Dominate Voter Concerns

A new OPB poll indicates the Oregon governor’s race between incumbent Tina Kotek and challenger Christine Drazan is effectively tied, with Drazan leading by one percentage point among likely voters. Economic issues, including cost of living and housing, are the primary drivers of voter sentiment, while both candidates struggle with low favorability ratings. Kotek retains a significant advantage in the Portland metro area, but Drazan leads in rural regions and has solidified her Republican base. With less than two weeks until ballots are mailed, the race remains too close to call, with undecided voters potentially deciding the outcome.

Seattle parents sue Oregon hospital over alleged demand to drive dead infant home

Aleksandr and Nataliya Yeremeyev have filed a $10 million lawsuit against Salem Health and Dr. Stefani Sorensen, alleging that hospital staff forced them to transport their deceased 9-month-old son, Michael, from Salem, Oregon, to Seattle in their personal vehicle. The complaint claims that after Michael died in the emergency room in September 2024, staff dismissed the option of using a funeral home as too expensive and pressured the parents to drive the body home themselves. The father reportedly drove four hours with the child in the backseat, while the family seeks damages for emotional distress and alleged negligence in handling the remains.
