An hour later, they further clarified that a shooting incident had taken place at the neighboring campgrounds rather than inside the Gorge venue itself, and that a shooter had been apprehended.
The Gorge is hosting Beyond Wonderland this weekend, an electronic music festival with attendance in the thousands. The venue features campgrounds directly outside its main entrance, as well as a larger area roughly a half mile away.
