Last update: 10 hours ago

Astoria Bridge Death: A 35-year-old man died by suicide Friday night after abandoning his vehicle and jumping into the Columbia River from the Astoria Bridge; police say his name is known but won’t be released, and recovery involved Astoria police, fire, Oregon State Police, Clatsop County deputies, and Port Security. Gas Pain for Memorial Day: Oregon drivers are feeling record-high fuel costs heading into the holiday weekend, with AAA forecasting 45 million Americans traveling and Oregon averages climbing to about $5.32 for gas this year—pushing families to cut back elsewhere. Bear Incident in Canby: In Canby, police and wildlife officials used lethal force to stop a bear cub after it moved toward the public, drawing regret from city leaders. Oregon Politics, Salem: Salem City Council races flipped despite big fundraising, with incumbents Mayor Julie Hoy and Ward 4 Councilor Deanna Gwyn losing in the May 19 election. Kotek Appointments: Gov. Tina Kotek sent board and commission nominees to the Oregon Senate for confirmation, setting up June review.
