Portland police emergency and crisis teams have taken a suspect into custody after after a man barricaded himself inside a burning Southeast Portland home Wednesday morning. Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson at a news conference just before noon said police initially responded to reports of a disturbance near Southeast 127th Avenue and Rhone Street about 10 a.m. Officers noticed smoke coming out of the house. Simpson said conversations have led police to believe the man may be linked to a stabbing overnight in the area that injured a person. The location of the stabbing was unknown.
