The shooter pulled out his gun and the two young men ran," Kayia Murrell, a witness, told OregonLive.The two men who were shot did not appear to be armed, she said, adding that she didn't know what the men were arguing about.Singh, who is being held without bail in the detention centre, is scheduled to return to court on May 12.
