Portland Police say the 56-year-old Gann was killed Thursday morning by a hit-and-run driver in Southeast Portland at Southeast Holgate Street and 14th Avenue. Fifty-seven-year-old Victorio Nogueda-Berrera is now wanted for felony hit-and-run.

The Columbian reports Bethany Storro is scheduled to talk about her book this morning on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” She co-wrote the book, “Facing the Truth,” with Portland burn survivor Monica Krueger. Storro underwent treatment at the Oregon Burn Center at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Ore.
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) – Vancouver police officers and Clark County sheriff’s deputies are working with doctors at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland to improve their health.

The changes are part of a $3 million health study led by Dr. Kerry Kuehl. The researcher has enlisted 130 deputies from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and 80 officers from the Vancouver Police Department for the study, along with two law enforcement agencies in Oregon.
