Man arrested after blowup at KATU photographer

Submitted by Dan Tilkin on Wed, 2009-10-14 18:44

A KATU photographer was attacked on the job on Wednesday while trying to shoot weather video outside a local school.

The incident happened outside of Laurelhurst School where KATU Photographer Bob Bullock was shooting video of people and their morning routines in the rain, including parents dropping their kids off at school.  The video was to be used in promotional videos for the Storm Tracker Weather Team and was shot legally from a public sidewalk.

And everything was fine until a man, later identified as Peter Fournier, approached Bullock.

"He yells something over to me and holds up a badge in a wallet," said Bullock.

Remember when the Blazers played here?

Submitted by B. Scott Anderson on Wed, 2009-10-14 10:09

Bet you haven't seen a photo like this in awhile.

This is what KATU employee Mike shot while setting up for tonight's 7 p.m. preseason game at Memorial Coliseum between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns.

The last time the Blazers played in Memorial Coliseum was way back in 1995.

The game will pay homage to the 40-year history of the Blazers. Each quarter will symbolize one of the four decades of franchise history by bringing back former players and staff to help kick off the organization's anniversary season. The Trail Blazers will also wear their new “Rip City” alternate jerseys.
