(Portland, OR) -- A woman accused of firing a gun inside Portland International Airport in 2023 has been found guilty of several weapons charges. The original charge of attempted murder against Laura Patterson was dropped. Prosecutors said Patterson came out of a bathroom near the pre-security area for the D and E concourse checkpoint when she fired two shots in the air. She put the gun on the ground and waited to be arrested. The shooting caused eight-thousand-dollars damage to a ceiling window and TSA evacuated the security checkpoint. She told police she did it so someone would stop her from killing her out-of-state family members. She'll be sentenced next month.
