Clean up at PSU Library has been in progress since the weekend. I’m told this entrance looks 90% better than it did initially

I fully condemn the criminal actions taken Thursday morning that resulted in the burning of 15 Portland Police Bureau cars and endangers first responders and the surrounding community.

Mayor Ted Wheeler says people that damaged businesses and the PSU library are "delusional" if they believe their actions will change anything in the Middle East. bit.ly/3JKW8iK

It appears PSU is getting the stage set for law enforcement to move in. I’m live at 4, 5, and 6 at campus with more on today’s events. @fox12oregon

I was also told students are still allowed to come into the library and study, allegedly there are some on the upper floors doing that but I wasn’t able to see them.

Inside, I wasn’t allowed to take pictures but there’s plywood up against windows to what seems to be preparations for law enforcement, spray paint on walls, and broken glass. There is also a medic station and a place where participants can get free food.

Currently at PSU: Dozens of alleged students are still barricaded inside the main library on campus demanding the university publicly call for a cease fire in Gaza and for the school to cut ties with companies that do business with Israel. @fox12oregon

UPDATE: The fire has been put out with no reported injuries. A spokesperson for Timberline Lodge says the cause of the fire is still very much under investigation but it’s suspected that embers coming from the large fireplace in the main room could possibly be to blame.
