   PORTLAND, Ore. – Officers shot and killed Sunday a man armed   
   with a knife who suggested he had an explosive device, the   
   Portland Police Bureau said.   
      
   The incident happened shortly before 10 a.m. at a building in   
   downtown's Pearl District, police said. Officers were called to   
   the building in response to reports of a disturbance caused by a   
   man with a knife.   
      
   When officers arrived, they saw a man and a woman in the   
   stairwell of the building, police said. The woman appeared to be   
   injured.   
      
   Officers tried to talk with the man and used less lethal force   
   before the shots were fired, police said. The man died at the   
   scene, said police, who did not release the man's age or   
   identity.   
      
   The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of her   
   injuries. No officers were injured, police said.   
      
   The bureau's Explosive Disposal Unit determined there was not an   
   explosive at the scene.   
      
   Mike Connors, a lawyer who works in the building, told   
   Oregonlive/The Oregonian that he was arriving at work Sunday   
   morning when he heard people arguing in a stairwell. Connors   
   said he called 911 and yelled into the stairwell that he had   
   done so.   
      
   He said he heard a man's voice shout back, "I have a knife, a   
   bomb and a hostage. Bring it on."   
      
   Connors told the newspaper that he left to wait for police to   
   arrive and didn't witness the subsequent shooting. "I was kind   
   of in shock," he said.   
      
   Portland Police Homicide Detectives and the Multnomah County   
   District Attorney's Office are investigating.
