A handgun was found in the vehicle.<br /> <br /> Police were searching an apartment about half an hour later as part of the investigation. The apartment is about five blocks east of the shooting near Rosemary Anderson High School.<br /> <br /> Detectives are investigating and will release the suspect's name and charges after he is booked into the Multnomah County Jail.<br /> <br /> Witnesses told police there may have been a dispute outside the high school on Friday, just before the shooting occurred at a street corner.<br /> <br /> The assailant and two other people fled, and the wounded students went to the school for help, a police spokesman said. A 16-year-old girl was critically wounded while two males were hospitalized in fair condition. Another girl was grazed by a bullet.<br /> <br /> "Based on the investigation thus far, the shooting appears to be gang-related," Sgt. Pete Simpson said Friday night in a statement.
